Ex Spouse Property Dispute

Summary

In Minnesota, non-marital property is typically owned before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance. If a court order states you keep the house contents, your ex should not take them. To enforce this, contact the issuing court and consider filing a motion for contempt. For missing property, check if your homeowners insurance covers theft, document missing items, report to police, and file a claim with your insurer.
