More details to this question:
Wife is still in rental home and after I vacated signed a lease. When I resided there, no lease was in effect. I have been denied access to my winter attire and warmer clothing. She called the police and had me removed when I did try to get my things. I know that I have to get a judge to grant me the right to my other items, but can she refuse me personal items such as proper season clothing?

You need to get a court order to allow you to remove your personal property with a civil standby. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to help with the paperwork.

yes, you have no more, or less rights, to retrieve your clothing than any other property.

She certainly shouldn't however you may have to get a judge to order that. The police won't get involved in this type of domestic dispute. Speak with your divorce attorney as soon as possible.

Its legal if you are no longer a resident..file a motion in your divorce and ask for her to turn over those items forthwith.
