Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers
You should file for dissolution immediately and serve him with the summons and petition. There are automatic restraining orders that prohibit the sale or disposal of any property. The only exception would be the sale of property to provide the necessities of life. You should also consider obtaining a domestic violence restraining order against him. Your clothing and other personal items are considered to be your separate property. If you cannot afford to retain an attorney then you should go to the family court legal clinic.
