Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

I am a in-home nanny and my employer submitted a 30-day notice to vacant the property. My employer went to court and she stated, "That she had basically moved out and she was getting ready to add in that my things were still in the resident," but the judge stopped her. He told her if she say anything else it would be purjury. So items are still in the house and the owner changed the locks a couple hours after court. What rights do I have to get my personal belongings ASAP?

Your facts are not clear at all, but one part you left out was 1) what is the owner's position on you going to get your things and an agreeable time and 2) if they are not agreeable, why? I will add an aside. If you are an "in-home nanny" and going to court over an eviction with a former employer, it may have done significant damage to your future employment opportunities. Basic background checks have these lawsuits. Even if something happened that was beyond your control, there is a question of why it took a court proceeding for you to leave the property after the 30 days notice (or even before the notice). It raises HUGE red flags.
