Getting personal belongings from ex's home

[livingontheedgeee]

I am currently going through a divorce due to "D"H infidelity.

He owns a house overseas and I took lots of my own personal belongings over there to furnish it. I want them out but he's being difficult.

I still have a key, the house is currently on the market and unoccupied.

Anyone know the legal position if I just went in and took what is mine? Ex won't play ball and is dodging my attempts to have him there when I take the stuff out. It's been one excuse after another.

Nobody will know I've been and I'd leave a note in the house to tell him what I've taken so he sees it the next time he visits (likely to be in a few months).

I have photographic evidence of the stuff that belongs to me - my insurance if anything ever happened to him and I had to deal with a family member.

What would you do?

Thanks.

I would just go and take it.
I wouldn’t leave any notes or anything.

If I didn't leave a note, and video myself taking the stuff out, he'd call the police and feign a burglary knowing full well I'd taken it.

Just take it and then send a email and a text stating that you've removed your possessions.

He'd be deemed wasting police time if he then tried to claim it was a burgulary

If the house is not in the UK the relevant law will be the law of the country where it is located. I doubt anyone here will be able to help you.
