Scenario:
A couple have been together for 4 years and have a house in joint names. The relationship breaks down with one leaving and the other to continue paying the mortgage on the house. The former partner who has left makes no contribution to the mortgage and is also issued multiple domestic violence orders to not go near the former partner or residence.
The former partner who moved out has left a range of belongings at the jointly owned house for over 2 years with no intention of collecting the goods even after numerous promises to do so.
The issue of the house itself goes to court and the former partner making the mortgage contributions and living in the residence is directed to now refinance to place the house solely in their name or sell the property in a short timeframe. The former partner has breached the avo on dozens of occasions and is non responsive to the courts.
The Question is: At what point is the former partner who no longer resides at the residence, who has a DV order to not be within an allocated distance of the property and has left goods of little value at the residence for over 2 years given up their right to the abandoned goods and if so, what is the process of disposing of the goods so the property can be sold or refinanced
