Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
Warrant in detinue
Ex-boyfriend filed warrant in detinue
for a jacket, wii fit, wii mario kart,
$200 gift card, court cost.
Arrangements were made and the
jacket was returned. He stated he
did not want other items as long as
he got jacket. He said he would
withdraw claim. He signed papers
(typed up by me) stating the above.
He also signed paper stating he got
his jacket back. He is now refusing
to withdraw claim. What are my
next steps?
Additional info:
( He also had an IPOD of mine which
he shipped to me along with a copy
of the warrant. This was shipped 10
days after he filed the warrant. I had
told him all along that when I got my
Ipod - he would get the jacket. I
believe he has additional items of
mine - he says he doesn't - but I was
not able to go into his home to make
sure I had retrieved all of my
belongings.)

Re: Warrant in detinue
File a counterclaim for any items of personal property of yours which you believe that he has retained and now refuses to return. Bring the papers which he signed to the scheduled hearing
and present them to the judge as part of your defense.
