QLD Can I Legally Deliver Abandoned Property to Ex?

[Rhin0]

I understand that I'm legally obligated to not damage, throw away or sell any abandoned property or goods left by my ex from 5 months ago. Can I legally under property law drop her belongings off to where she's staying at, when I next pick up my son, from there? Even if she says "she can't take them" which is a lie but I'm fairly certain this will be her response. She's just using it as a foot in the door and to keep some connection to me, other than our son.

I need this crap out of my life, I'm so sick of her ridiculous immaturity and nonsense that she constantly, still, tries to involve me with.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

I would formalise it a bit. Write a letter, basically a letter of demand stating that you can no longer hold her items and she can either retrieve he things by xxxx date (date and time to be organised 7 days prior with you or they will be delivered by you to her residence.

I think that would be viewed as fair and reasonable. I'm assuming there is no violence restraining orders or anything of that nature in place, because this would change the way you should communicate with her.

Yeah, definately no violence or nothing. I've been extremely mature, polite and generous even, despite the circumstances of everything, between us. She's just clearly using me for a run for my money now. Taken my kindness for weakness, I think. I need to rent the room her s**t is occupying and she has no plans in sight about doing anything about it. Thought Id just take it to her, drop it at her feet and be done with it..

You probably could just drop it off, but you would seem far more reasonable if you gave her a chance to find somewhere to store it. The fact you need to rent the room is a great reason to formally demand that her things are either collected or dropped off.

It doesn't take much and you could even email it. It just gives you a come back if you drop it off and it get weather damage or its stolen from where you drop it, at least then you can say I gave her every opportunity to collect it. Its good as evidence if you need it.

Oh I planned to drop it off to her directly. Not just sitting on her doorstep. I'll heed your suggestion though.

I've given her plenty of ultimatums regarding her belongings already but I guess one last time can't hurt... Definitely last one, this time though. So irresponsible, I can't even fathom how people behave this way.

I cant advise you, I'm not a lawyer. But I have dealt with a lot of similar situations and I would hate to see you caught out.

Lol, check my other question out that i posted today. I'm dealing with a lot of headfuckery from this woman. Well...girl. She hasn't acted very womanly at all.

I saw it. It scared me. I'm not sure if I have any information that could help you. It's a very complicated situation you have there. Your ex sounds like a piece of work.
