My question involves personal property located in the State of: New York
My boyfriend and I of 8 years and who is also our 6 year old daughter's father have lived together for 8 years. He however has not worked in years and I have soley been supporting the household. "We" have bought items with my tax money from my wages and we do have items in our house such as the dining room table and shelves, etc. that are his mother's property. I am in the process of breaking up with him but he swears he is not leaving with nothing meaning by the computer and desk, plasma flat screen tv, couch, playstation 3, etc. Which is the stuff I had bought with my taxes.. fyi I do not have the receipts to these items execpt the tv and the ps3 but he holds them hostage somewhere and won't tell me where. Does he have the right to take these items if I remove him from the house?? I mean he has already sucked me dry financially.. and I will involve the police if I must but I need to know if I have a leg to stand on. I don't want to come "unarmed". And I do already have a limited order of protection against him but is about to expire in the next few months.
