to want XP's stuff out of the house?

[mumof4sons]

My H left me on the the 2nd April. I have since filed for divorce. He has decided he wants a new life with his married lover. AIBU to want all his belonging/junk out of the house, loft and garage by the 15th of May? He says he has no where to store it.

YANBU he needs to find somwhere to store it or get rid of it.

GIve him the 15 days notice and state that should it not be out by then you will be charging him storage, calculated at £20 a day.

It is no longer your problem that he has nowhere to store it.

Though I am sure from a legal perspective if he is still paying the rent/mortgage he would argue that he can leave it there.

I would have a quick word with your solicitor.

I would definitely be clearing it all out of the house, boxing it all up and putting it in the garage.

There are self store facilities in most areas now. Reasonable rent too the last time I used one.

I think that if he doesn't remove it after you have given him a reasonable period of notice in writing, you are legally entitled to dispose of it or at least not obliged to keep it safe (so you can put it on the pavement in binbags). No one can be compelled to keep another person's property safe indefinitely against their wishes, surely.

Un-fucking-believable...

Exactly why does he think his storage problems are of any interest to you??

Stuff-May15-Bonfire

Should get through to even the thickest EX twat husband!!

Careful careful !! Is this house in his name too??
I have this problem with my XH! He moved out in Nov 2006!!! (yes 2006), we finally divorced this year but the financial stuff is a nightmare and the house is still in joint names!
I would have to get a court order to get his stuff out, I have bagged it all and threw it in the garage along with his stupid bike but thats as far as I can go at the moment!

You have the right to get rid of it. All you have to do is send him a letter - recorded delivery - saying that he has X number of days to get his stuff, and must arrange a time with you, or on such and such a date, his things will be put onto the street.

Legally he can do nothing to you if you give him adequate notice.

Why the hell should you do him any bloody favours. God, some people make me so angry!

(him not you!)

not if the house is legally his as well!

Clearly I've been watching too much Judge Judy

What about bagging it up and dumping it on his doorstep? Would that be allowed?

Or bagging it up and dumping in it

if you've only filed for divorce presumably no orders have been put in place and he would still have an interest in the house. If that's the case then I wouldn't touch his stuff as he most likely has a legal right to keep it there and has a legal right of entry to the house (unless there's orders to the contrary etc.)
If this is not the case and the house is yours and yours alone I'd write to him and his solicitor stating a reasonable period of time (2 weeks perhaps) after which you will be disposing of any items which have been left there.

i would put all his stuff in the garage/shed, and get the neighbours dog/cat round and let it used the garage/shed as its own personal toilet.

You don't have any right to get rid of it if the house is half his.

I suggest you try and keep it contained? put it in the garage/shed/spare room/loft.

It's crap, believe me i know.
