How does someone collect their things if they have been ordered to stay away from their home?

If the defendant needs to get personal items and clothing, they may return ONE TIME with a law enforcement officer. Contact the local law enforcement agency to make the arrangements.  Law enforcement CANNOT resolve disputes regarding what things belong to whom. A civil lawsuit may be filed in a justice court to try to recover property that they believe is being wrongfully denied to them.
