Ask your solicitor, that’s what he’s there for.

You poor thing, you definatley don’t deserve to be married to a man like that anymore, that’s for sure.
Be strong, get on to the solicitors A.S.A.P. they need to be sorting this out so you can move on.

It would be best not to.You don’t want to give your husband any reason to make you look bad whether it’s with the solicitors or police.I would ask your solicitor to get in contact with his solicitor to come to a reasonable date to collect his stuff that is what they are paid to do.good luck

Of course you can. LOL But you can’t get rid of his stuff or damage it. You can give the land lord his property and get out what ever is yours. There is no law against that, He could ask that you replace the lack in the final divorce but then he’s an idiot. Just cut and go on. IF the shed is the land lords, the land lord has a right to break the lock off the shed. Considering the husband is no longer a resident at the house , he is no longer renting the shed, so break the lock. I’ld pack all his stuff and put it by the door for easy exiting.

Write him a letter explaining he can pick his remaining items up at a specific time and date(When your out or have people who will look after you with you) Then put his stuff outside it’s his responsibility then.Keep a copy of the letter and send it registered so you are legally covered.Or just put all his shit outside he has no right come on the property

If the landlord doesn’t allow him, there, set up a time (or have the landlord do it) when the police can come and wait while he gets his belongings. Your attorney can do this legally. If he doesn’t act upon it, he must forfeit all of it. At that point you can throw it away.

I think having to deal with this is the ultimate way someone attempts to control the other person. I dealt with it with my first marriage (but on an amicable basis) and 1 year later I am still storing some of my ex-husbands contents. I’m a pushover and I hate that part of myself.

(Legally, it all became my property when he didn’t retrieve it by a certain date though.)

I feel very sorry for you ~ but the legal way is the only way.

Don’t touch the padlock, unless told to do so by your solicitors ~ they should sort this out when they deal with his solicitors, and tell yours that you want a representative from the firm there when you open the shed, and take his belongings out ~ this way you have a witness, and he can’t then make accusations that you have not sent all that was his back to him.

I wish you well.

if you are paying the rent then he has no right to leave his belongings in the house. cut the lock and bag up all his items and leave the outside where he lives. you are not a free storage unit.
