Can You Sue Your Ex for Breaking Your Stuff?

If your ex destroys your stuff during a breakup, can you sue them? Yes, and you probably should. It depends on what stuff. The fact that somebody's going through emotional turmoil, or is grappling with the end of a relationship, is not an excuse for doing that. What can you sue for? You can sue for the damages. If you're in family court, you can get a restraining order — that's a form of abuse, destroying someone else's property. Ultimately you want to get that person out of your life one way or another, and you need to be made whole financially for the damage that they've caused you.
