Question: My boyfriend gave me some bedroom furniture because he was getting put out of his apartment. He needed a place to stay and helped me throw away my old bed and stayed with me for four months before moving out. Now he wants the bedroom furniture back! Can the police make me give him back the furniture?

The Judge’s Answer: No. If he gave you the furniture, then it belongs to you. If there is a dispute between you and your boyfriend as to who owns the furniture, your boyfriend will have to file a civil claim against you and prove to the court he owns the furniture.
