What is personal effects when taking your things in a divorce

Is golf clubs considered a personal effect ? How about a bar stool? And should my ex be allowed to enter my house to check to see if he has everything ? Because he on the judgement he only asked for certain things which are now in the garage. Just want to know if i should let him in my house even though everything else was awarded to me?

Generally, personal effects include clothing and personal bathroom supplies (e.g., toothbrush), but can also include electronics, appliances, kitchen equipment, etc.

It is good that you want to be reasonable. However, without knowing all the circumstances there is no way for me to determine whether it is safe or prudent to allow him in or not or what he is or is not entitled to take. Discuss this with your divorce attorney and take all necessary precautions.
