My ex-boyfriend left most of his stuff when he moved out a yr ago. What obligation do i have about his property? I’ve asked him to get it many times.
My ex and i broke up a yr ago. He moved from GA back to TX. His intention was to come back for his stuff when he got settled. Its been a yr, i’ve moved and had to move his stuff, and now am getting married & have no room for his stuff anymore. He keeps saying that i am obligated to take care of his things since he left them with me and that i can be charged criminally if i get rid of them or leave them behind when i move again. do i have any legal obligation to keep up with his stuff after a year ?

I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I suggest that you wirte your ex a certified letter informing him that you will be sending his belongings to a storage facility unless he comes to get them in 2 weeks and that he will have to pay the storage fees to retrieve his stuff. The you should have his stuff brought to a storage facility if he fails to come get in. This way, you have provided him with notice and he can only blame himself.
