What action can I do to my ex-husband who doesn't return "my things before marriage" and "our things"?

My ex husband keeps "my things before marriage" and "our things after marriage" and he never returns my things and doesn't want to separate our things for 3years. Divorce hasn't settled yet. He agreed to my list( he returns my things before marriage and some of our things after marriage) through both lawyers in 2007 but it was verbal.
Recently he told his lawyer that he wouldn't return anything to me at all and would give only $ 1000 even "our things after marriage"'a value is more than $ 10,000. Some of my things are mother's crafts and paintings and I want to keep them and she wants me to keep them. She is old and if she dies, they become keepsake(momento) for me. I want him to rerutn things he agreed and share the value of "our things after marriage"( as money). What action can

Is it too late for me to think about becoming a doctor?

I am almost 19. I graduated highschool last year. High school was a bad time for me, I was emotionally stressed all the time. My grades were.. well... horrible. I only failed one class (in grade 10), but my marks were 60/70 range in grade 11 and 12. My highest mark was a 95, in art. I didn't take any extra science or math classes. Basically, I screwed around and should have focused on school instead of my issues.
I was looking at the Mcmasters website (for those of you who don't know its a medical university). It says I need all these classes from high school, and THATS what they look at.
My dream is become a doctor. Originally, I wanted to be a pediatrician... and was told by a teacher that I might as well give up on that idea.
But my dream to be in the medical field has been sparked

Huge family dilemma...Warning! this will be very long!!?

Okay, i have been married for one year this January. Husband has a cat allergy and my whole family has pets. He also has asthma which cats effect. We have problems every holiday because he can't come to any of my family gatherings. It's taken a while, but i have accepted it. I go and see my family and his family. But he just doesn't come with me to mine. It's difficult but necessary. The allergy medication is only a temporary fix and really is not worth it. His parents are really the only close family he has ever had but now they are moving to Victoria, BC, two provinces away from us. Patrick(husband) wants to move with them. His parents are moving to help out with my husbands grandma. She is very sick and going into a home so they are gonna take possession of the house. My whole

How much did your divorce cost you?

I'm only talking about attorney fees here, not how much you lost in the divorce to your ex....
I'm curious, 'cause I always hear about some people needing to give thousands in retainer fees... my divorce and custody agreement cost me 1100$ in total attorney fees... While my ex told me his lawyer gave him a 2000$ bill.. but didn't do much! My attorney filed the divorce, his was supposed to contest but didn't, we drew up the custody agreement after his lawyer had drawn one up but had forgotten more than half of the details... he apparently didn't explain much to him either, etc. So.. How much did your attorney cost you for your
