How can I reclaim possessions?
Robin-i'-the-Hood
Posts: 48 Forumite
Briefly...my ex-partner had affairs since we met under guise of being in RAF reserve. I paid for just about everything. She had me thrown out of my own house by police (by claiming I'd hit her...not true I hasten to add) when confronted with it (it became too blatant to ignore). Basically left me absolutely penniless. My query is a) how can I get at least some possessions back if I have the receipts? and b) did the police have the right to throw me out of my house just because they feared a breach of the peace, as they said? The allegation made by my partner had no foundation, proof or witnesses. Up to then the health visitor considered me prime carer for my son...since then, contact has been almost nil due to the behaviour of my ex and her boyfriend. I simply can't afford high legal bills that might accrue to a contested residency order. I'm watching closely the result of another residency case brought by another of her childrens father...he has got interim residency of his daughter. Please help.

Whose name is on the tenancy/mortgage?
If your name is on either then you have the right to enter your own home, even if that means you have to break in to do it. I read your other post, and I would suggest that you take legal advice from the CAB or shelter.
How long were you living together and what sort of possessions are you trying to reclaim? There have been legal moves afoot to grant cohabiting couples some of the rights of married couples.
