QUESTION
How can I get my things when my ex kicked me out? I paid rent and utilities are in my name and he’s refusing me entry and changed the locks.

More details to this question:
My ex and I got into a disagreement and I decided to stay at my moms for a night. Me deciding to stay at my moms prompted him to want to kick me out and tell me to take all of my things right then and there. I was obviously unable to grab everything and I pay rent there, have utilities in my name, have mail delivered there, although I’m not on the lease I’ve been told my the police department I’m considered a legal resident. I’ve been trying for days since to get my things and he is refusing, stated he’s had the locks changed, and refuses to let me in. Being considered a resident can the lease manager let me in to get my things with the police present? What are my options aside from filing a civil suit because I’m 7 months pregnant and don’t have the money to pay the court costs?

best bet is to get apolice escort to get your stuff to "keep the peace". Bring a Uhaul and some friends if needed. Otherwise, you can try to foight legally to get back in - but to what result? Domestic violence charges? If this is baby daddy - now you know who you are dealing with.
