You should ask your attorney to make a motion in court for the return on the monetary value of these assets. This might also depend on whether or not your divorce is final and what your original agreement looked like.

If the assets were identified as yours in the property settlement, then bring a motion for contempt of court. If not, then bring a civil action in either small claims or district court, depending on the value of the items sold.

If you are in Florida and a divorce is pending, you may have recourse, as in most counties there is what is called a "standing order" which prohibits the selling or dispersion of any assets while the divorce is pending. You should consult with an attorney.
