I lived with my fiance for a yr and he just passed away. His ex is now claiming his tv? Is this legal?

This is an awful situation to get into. Best advice, if you can do it, is this. Whatever you chose to do, it will not be easy or painless and will require effort on your part.

- Take all the stuff you value, and remove it (store it with family, friends, or a rental storage locker) .. so it cannot be damaged. - Move somewhere that you do not have to pay rent (parents, relatives) for as long as it takes for the lease to expire .. continue to pay rent at the place you shared with your fiancé. - Take pictures of all possessions that you DO leave in your apartment.

"Before" pictures. And if he damages stuff, "after" pictures. Speak to your neighbors the next day, and see if they heard the commotion ... ask them to write up a quick note of what they heard, to back your future story .. when you take him to Small Claims Court after you have moved out, and sue him for the damages he has done.

- Go down to the Police Station to ask them how to handle this. - Call the nearest battered women's shelter and discuss your dangerous situation with them. They know where to turn, and sometimes THEY are where you would turn.

Especially if he stops going for your TV and starts going for your throat instead. Yes . This is a very real possibility.

- Talk to legal aid, and find out if you are able to break you lease in cases of domestic abuse, and what sort of proof is required. It is quite possible you CAN get out of the lease, but I don't know what the laws are where your life. For that matter, probably the battered women's shelter would know what your legal options are.

They take in women fleeing violence all the time, shelter them, and help them get back on their feet independently. I think that you need to be more worried about your BODY than your possessions. I'm sure he was a nice guy, but now he is hurting badly, and the most-common way to try to deal with pain is through anger.

And in order to use anger to hide our pain, we have to build up some sort of "case" for being angry at the person. Men are even more likely to resort to anger to hide pain. And if they are angry enough, especially if they get rages .. YOUR life is possibly in serious danger.

Don't take chances. No matter how scary this is, be thankful that you found out he does this BEFORE you married him and became legally tied to him. It is hard enough to break up with a fiancé, let alone be frightened for your safety AND feeling trapped.

You are not trapped. But you might have to work, might have to sacrifice, might have to suffer some losses, in order to be free. DO IT.

Freedom and personal safety is worth everything.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
