Thank you for all of the advice.  I ran out of time today to contact the court after work.  I will definitely see if I can get a subpoena on him.  I was hoping he would just say "yes"!  I am excited to have this over with, then my ex will have absolutely ZERO control left!!!!

Hi lisamarie,
 
Legal matters can be quite tricky. You may want to seek assistance from a lawyer or legal aid in order to decide what the best option for you is in this situation. Hopefully things will work out in your interest and you will find justice

Hello LisaMarie333:  I think Davit is right - although it is tough for this guy 'cause he feels caught in the middle, he probably doesn't want to lose his guy friend either, your ex, and doesn't know what to do or doesn't want to do it - by subpoena, he has to do it.  Let's hope he tells the truth without colouring it to suit your ex.  This is tough either way.  Davit is right, it'll be hard to keep this guy as a friend, although you get along with his wife.  If you are still paying on these things and they are in your name, seems to me the judge might tell the guy if he wants them, to start payments himself. (wouldn't that be great?)  Alas, I know nothing about the law, but a judge can probably tell when a big-screen t.v. or fridge and stove, washer, dryer - those types of things - aren't personal gifts, but items used when living together.  I'll be rooting for you! pls. keep posting, I care

If he won't help you, he's not a friend. Go ahead and Subpoena him so he can say he had to. Otherwise it is going to ride on your nerves and you will lose him as a friend any way. This is about getting your stuff back so you can get on with your life. Besides it gives him an out so he can help you and maybe that's what he needs. Just do it. Of course this is just my opinion and I don't like liers. In fact I don't even like people who stretch the truth. Your never going to get better with this hanging over your head so do it and if you lose him as a friend then he never was in the first place. Of course I'm just being outspoken, this is still your decision but it seems you need to win here more for your health than your stuff. Stuff is just stuff, health is everything. Good luck.

Davit.

What Would You Do??? What is the "Right" thing? Lying is wrong, Silence about Lies is just as wrong...if you know it will result in hurting a Friend. Do you Stand up for a Friend or stay Silent for Another? 
 
Here is what is going on...I took my Ex-fiance to court to get my things back that are in my name and I am paying on them.  He is trying to tell the Judge that they were gifts.  We have a mutual Friend that told both of us he will not go to court to testify for either of us because he doesn't want to lose our friendships.  Well, My Ex told this friend that he was going to lie to the court so I wouldn't get my things back.  This friend said he does not want to be involved.  His wife told me to go ahead and Subpoena him to testify  because of what he knows.  This could really help my case, considering I have no other witnesses.  What do I do???  I don't want to lose his friendship, but at the same time isn't it the "right" thing to do telling the truth especially to help a friend!?!
