If your former girlfriend has kicked you out of the place that you once shared with her and refuses to allow you back to get your belongings, the following are your options:
1. have a mutual friend act as an intermediary so that you can return and get your belongings and leave under the supervison of others.
2. write a letter to your former girlfriend seeking a date and time to pick up your belongings.
3. file a small claims court action against her for the value of the items she refuses to let you have.
Good luck.
