More details to this question:
The individual that is suing us lived in my daughter's house for 17 yrs. He never worked outside of the home. He took her muscle relaxer pills while drinking and tore the house apart. He would not help my physically challenged daughter get out of bed. She called me. I came over & he was laying on the bathroom floor. I called the police & ambulance. I had to move my daughter into my apartment and empty out her house. The plaintiff claims I disposed of $8,000. worth of his personal belongings.

Yes. Your daughter's ex appears (based on your account) to be a bad person. Your daughter may have claims against him for property damage arising out of his tearing up the house. But (assuming that his claim that you disposed of his property without his permission is true) none of that gives youor your daughter the right to take and dispose of his personal property, unless he gave you permission to do so or unless he had abandoned it.
