Q: Wife gives away or sells playstation worth $700 what can i do.
My wife and i hAve been separated a year.we are In the process of divorce
I let her and her daughter borrrow my PlayStation worth $700 and she either sold it or gave away without permission. She wont get it back. What can i do i have proof of ownership
A: If no divorce has been filed, there is nothing you can do. If the divorce has been filed and a standing order issued, neither is supposed to dispose of marital property, although it is possible a court may not care too much about your video game system.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: You should look at the cost and utility of your issue. What's the system worth now? Where are you procedurally with the pending divorce? Have you gone to mediation yet? First, don't loan her anything else obviously. Second, if you have an attorney, shoot her an email - short and to the point. I'm more concerned with why this divorce has been pending for a year and you're worried about a Playstation. Get the divorce done.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleagues, I doubt anything is going to come of this. It's advisable to stop lending her things, and also to get the divorce moving along. If you are not already working with an attorney you should be. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
