How can I stop my husband from taking things of value and not telling me where he has them?

My husband and I are separated. He moved out about 5 weeks ago. While I am at work, he comes over and takes things from the marital home. He took all of our motorcycles that were attained during the course of the marriage and told me that the titles are in his name so he can do what he wants with them. I have gotten word that he plans on coming this weekend and taking our $30,000 self contained trailer so he can live out of it. I have no idea where he is staying or where he plans on taking it. How can I stop this from happening? I just want full disclosure of where these items are going and where they are being stored?

I am so sorry for your situation.  You need to get legal help as soon as you can.  If assets were purchased during a marriage with marital funds they are marital property and it does not matter whose name is on the title of the property.  His taking the property and doing with it as he please with out telling you can be considered what is known as dissipation of marital assets.  It is serious and it can be used against him is the divorce.  Now, you need to get a restraining order against him stopping him from coming on to the property and taking things.  You need a lawyer.  It is really time.  Good luck.
