Can my ex take furniture that I purchased while we were
together?
Jay’s Answer (Jay K. Nixon, Criminal Defense Attorney with
41 years of experience and offices in Kenosha & Janesville, WI)
You have some good answers already. Sadly, the law
enforcement decision not to charge the case criminally is likely to be final. So,
you have several choices: small claims court , or a strongly worded letter to
the boyfriend from a local attorney recommending that he work this out with you
might also help, either of which might give you 50% odds of some success.
However, the third option of using that money on replacement furniture gives
you 100% odds of at least getting furniture, to say nothing of possibly helping
you to move on with your life. If so, you can now bring along with you, the
wisdom of this last bad experience. It is a fact of life that cohabitation,
either marital or nonmarital, is hazardous to your possessions. The only sure
protection is therefore not to live with anyone, and/or to carefully evaluate
the person's honesty and credit worthiness any time that you might consider
breaking this rule, since the law is not likely to protect you.
