I left him a year ago this week. Divorce was final Jan 20. Court order to get my stuff deadline came and went. No cooperation to get into my old home to get the divided property. In fact, he flat out told the officer, "She won't get a fork! See you in court!". Strange, because he signed an agreement to give me these specific items back.
So my lawyer has instructed me to compile every single nasty text and email along with my journal entries of other verbal abuse and harassment to bring along to court to show emotional distress.
Truthfully, all I want is my stuff back but my lawyer said that enough is enough already. While I agree that I've had enough of his continued harassment (in spite of the RO)I'm not sure that it has anything to do with getting my stuff back.
Any thoughts of how/if this will help? What, if any, compensation am I due for "emotional distress"?

If you have a court order already that lists certain items, the police "should" assist you in retrieving those items.

Well no kidding. But we're talking about $100,000 worth of stuff. It is no easy move. China and crystal need to be packed. There is a baby grand piano and furniture. Boxes of stuff, too. Boxes and boxes. I think because of this, they don't want to force him for fear they'll be there a very long time and who knows what he'll do. Probably the police would like a more specific court order spelling out his consequences for not complying. Hopefully, he'll feel obligated to follow the law and the move may go more peacefully.
IME, court orders mean nothing. Not a single time did a violation of court order bring any consequences to my ex.
The Q is, tho, does anyone here know what type of compensation one gets for emotional distress? It's not like I'm in therapy and have dr. bills.

No. What is normal is to compile a list of contempt and then hit you all at once.

YD, that seems to be what my lawyer did/is doing. I'm guessing I'll at least get my lawyer fees compensated.
Stuck, I know you're a bit of an adversary on my topic, but I want to know just what types of things were you able to get away with? How far did you/are you pushing it?

She won't do that, neither will her lawyer. Then she'll be paying thousands of dollars in legal fees just to file a motion for contempt and whatever else happens and her lawyer won't do anything. It'll just be a waste of time!and I still wont fix her car or do anything else I'm suppose to do!

I got away with sneaking marital assets out of the house, signing ex's name to joint tax returns, not fixing her car and not doing repairs on the marital home! It was a breeze!Her lawyer is a sucker, who lets me get away with it!
