Re: ex won't let me get my things

An attorney acting on your behalf may be able to resolve this matter very simply by reaching an agreement with your boyfriend's attorney. If you do not know an attorney, you can contact your local county bar association for a referral. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you may be able to contact your boyfriend's attorney and work something out. You can also go to the office of your local magistrate and file a complaint for return of your furnishings.
