Re: Civil Cases
If there is some indication that your husband is involved in the retention of the equipment, the employer can file a replevin action against him (and you) demanding return of the property. If the property is entirely within your control, he should be left out of it. But if the property is in your home, he would probably be smart to include your husband in the suit, to avoid the possibility of your passing it on to him to avoid the legal recourse.
