if a couple is spitting up and the wife is leaving the home where the father is staying to take care of a special needs minor can the wife also take the stove,fridge,washer and dryer with her just because she helped purchase it.btw we only have one car and she insists on taking it as well leaving us with no transportation

Update:

And yes i plan to fight her tooth and nail for the welfare of my son who is everything to me.

    They will be divided according to what is fair. It is VERY likely if YOU are going to be caring for your special needs child, YOU will end up with most of what is in the house. They are also more likely to leave the car with the parent that needs to transport the special needs child.

    If there were no child in question, and especially if the child did not have special needs it would be more likely there would be a more fair split.

    Don't waste any time, call a lawyer. If you already have one, call him/her NOW. If you already have one and s/he hasn't answered these questions for you, fire him/her NOW and call a new guy NOW.

    Meantime, get pictures of everything: washer, dryer, car, etc. Grab hold of receipts, manuals, etc. If she's already out of the house, get a restraining order to keep her away from it. Tell the neighbors, if they see any activity at your house when you're not there, call the police.

    Don't sit back and let yourself and your kid get ripped off by this beauty.

    I'm sorry you got a nasty one, there. Good luck.

    If it is easily how the moms and dads experience there are suggestions available, they can supply the youngster to the state or place the youngster in a facility or somebody might desire to word to undertake the youngster with the moms and dads consent. All specific needs at the instant are not terrible life sentences. fairly some specific needs babies are the main loving babies God has ever graced the Earth with. My prayer could be that this couple keep the youngster long sufficient to nicely known the reward and love this toddler has to grant. stable success to them and you and God's reward for you all.

    This is where a judge and lawyer is needed. If I am not mistaking she shouldn't be able to take it since you are going to be the one with custody over the minor. i am not sure though so i would contact a lawyer. I know when my parents divorced when i was younger my father was not allow to have anything but his clothes since my mother was granted custody.

    She gets nothing (except her personal items) until the divorce is final. If she hasn't filed - do so NOW and file for temporary support too! Don't roll over for her on this one...

    Also, if you have to "disable" the car and make it inoperable (when you aren't using it) do so. You will have the child - you will need the car.

    Legally, those items would be divided or allocated in the divorce.

    Morally, are you going to stop her taking the things she needs to care for your child in these circumstances?

    Edit: Oops, misread that.....of course those items should remain with you since you are caring for the child.
