Re: property
Kentucky does not recognize common law marriage and the absence of a legal marriage makes things more difficult for you. Family Court can only address child custody, time sharing, child support and the child's belongings in your situation.
Regarding the personal belongings, you can pursue criminal charges through the County Attorney's office. You could also initiate a civil action for conversion (unlawful taking) of your property. Which court that is filed in depends on the value of the property.
