Coming onto to 2 years ago, I sat my wife down and told her that I was finally divorcing her (had talked for almost 2 years about this). It simply wasn't going to work, and we'd both be much happier not living by each other's now-completely-different-standards of living.
She agreed, and we came up with a parenting plan right then and there moving forward until kindergarten for our shared sons (then about 2 and 4 years old) in a 50-50 status. I gave her 1-2 weeks to move out of my house. Understandably, things got more and more tense every single day until (just 2 or 3 days later), she sparked a fight and screamed a variety of threats at me, ending with "you're never going to see your children again!" I didn't think much of it, as that's hardly the worst she had threatened me with. As per our new parenting agreement, I was to spend the night at my family's over the weekend which I did. But I had a weird feeling the first night. I followed my intuition and drove by my home late in the evening just to check on things and noticed that all the lights were on in the home.
I knocked, rang the bell, and upon no answer then cautiously entered my home (it was unlocked) to find everything gone. I'm talking furniture, food from the pantry/freezer/refrigerator, pictures from walls, drapes, bedding...everything was taken. Of course my son's room (which they shared) was stripped bare of everything (toys, toiletries, clothes). She even took my tools, some designer clothing, and my shoes that she had no need for. The only things left behind were the first toys I ever gave to my sons (each a matching set of stuffed bear) which she left at the door, and a few pictures of Christ (I'm Christian) which she re-hung upside down.
I'll admit that I was devastated that I didn't know where my kids were, and she refused to share where they were, when I'd be seeing them again, or give any information other than to talk through her newly appointed attorney. It was then that I decided to take some action. Through appropriate guesswork, I decided to check by some of her family local in the area to canvas the area. I successfully found my car (which she had taken) parked in the street outside of her aunt's house. I might not be able to get my stuff back, but I'll be damned if she takes some of my most expensive assets - especially as my name was the only one on the cars and my house and I was liable for my property. She had tied a security chain on the wheel attached to the frame, which was very clever of her. There was some sort of party in the home, with multiple vehicles present, and people entering / exiting every 20 mins or so. So I recruited a cousin of mine nearby, and we went to a local hardware store and bought a variety of wire cutters. Then we waited down a nearby street. After 2-3 hours had passed and almost all the additional cars had left, my cousin and I raced over to my car. We cut the chain, I put in my extra key, and we drove back to my other car and then drove back home. Through a series of carefully articulated events between my attorney and myself, I was able to keep both of my cars, my house, and all other major assets. From what she said, she had to take public transport or borrow her family's vehicles to get around during the Easter / early summer holidays. But in the end we got a 50-50 joint-everything for our kids. I even ended up with no alimony payments.
TLDR - I tell you we're divorcing and practically the next day you take off with my kids and the entire home? Fine, let's see how you manage with no transportation.
