Either you need to get on the same page with that attorney or you may want to consider dumping him/her and hiring a new one. If you cannot discuss this with your attorney in the proper way, then I'm sure you will have much greater problems than this one. Feel free to call me to discuss further at 732/773/2768
There are options to get your personal items. One option would be to file a motion with the court. However, if you are in the middle of a divorce, it is hard to offer specific advice and to know why your current attorney is not responding. You should schedule an appointment with your current attorney to review this situation. Unless there is some court order or domestic violence restraining order, you have the right to have access to your home.
I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.
