Q: How can I recover my belongings in this storage unit?

My ex helped me move my belongings and my childrens to a storage unit. He only listed it under his name.

He has denied me access after a domestic ciolence with him. And has refused to pay it. It has my and my childrens prescription medications along with my gun registered in my name that I bought. I have him recorded stating everything is mine in that storage unit while him and I were speaking. What can I do to recover our belongings?

A: Unless someone continues paying for the storage unit the storage has the right to lock it--and after a certain period of time--the right to open it and remove all the property. So: If all the stuff is yours go tell the storage company what's happening, and tell them you will be glad to pay all the unpaid charges in arrears if they will gif your stuff back to you.
