Question

My husband has abandoned me, our home & all of his belongings. How long do I have to wait to get rid of his things?



Answer

Until you file for divorce and get orders distributing the property and he still does not collect them.



Answer

Each spouse has a fiduciary duty of proper management and control over property during the marriage and even after separation. The most prudent approach is to get a court order on how to dispose of these items from a family law judge once you file for divorce.
