Hi everyone.


Ok well i was in court today with my ex wife and we both live in separate homes but my old home where my wife is currently living is owned by the both of us the court granted her custody of the home which i was fighting against.

Ok here's the problem.

I just borrowed a 200-400mm canon lens on cps eval and they delivered it to her house because that where the equipment insurance policy address is and where my canon ships too. Normally my ex all was gives me things that ship there but since she won the house she wont now.

Now because she has the home, She wont grant me access to my lens that was sent there or my other things that where still there. She cant do any thing with my stuff because she is ordered not to touch or sell it.

We have a court date to split our assets 2 months from now and we cant get a sooner date.

So my question is this?

Is canon cps going to flip out because i cant send them there lens back nor can my wife send it back because we are ordered not to sell any thing and she thinks i am going to sell it. plus she knows what its worth. She says its staying in the box till me go to court to sort it out.

I have no problem paying for the lens but if go spending 13,000.00 from my account the judge will not be happy because my ex will say i am trying spend all of our money witch its my money so she wont have any thing so go after.

I am going to call canon today and see what they say.


Has any one ever dealt with canon cps and not been able to return cps evaluation item? if so what do they do?>


Ooo this makes me so mad.

Ok thanks
 
What does your lawyer say?
 
Contact your lawyer
have him contact her lawyer
tell them it's rented and has to go back and you need to gain access to it otherwise you lose $13k .. I'm sure all the lawyers won't like that.
 
Wow CAP, you really must have pissed her off. All I can offer is to buy a nice Italian Brunello and help you drown your sorrows when I get back to the Keys.
 
I doubt they'll 'flip out', but they are going to charge your for every day you are responsible for the lens. Just ask her to leave it outside the front door and you can pick it up from there.

Ok, divorce sucks. My suggestion, contact your soon to be ex. Explain to her that if you can't return the lens that you will end up having to purchase it, and that in a property settlement their won't be any way to "split" the lens. So tell her that you think the best solution would be to return the lens. Since there is obviously a bit of a trust issue here and you don't want her violating any kind of court order by having her return the lens, tell her that you would like to arrange a time when you can get together with her, box the lens up for reshipment and drop it off at the Post office/UPS/Fed ex together, that way she knows and can verify that you returned the lens.

Explain to her that the only alternative is that you wind up being charged for the lens because your not able to return it. I know it might be difficult but try not to open any other arguments or head off on any tangents, just try to stay on topic about the lens and deal with just that one issue.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
 
Holy cow... I can't imagine how anyone could bear to part with that princess.

Anyway, yeah, if you can get a little help from a lawyer, that would probably help. A letter from your lawyer telling her lawyer to advise his client to stop being such a b*tch is probably going to work better than you telling her that yourself.

Nooooooooo…do NOT contact the Ex! I had one of THOSE Exes…if they are being that hostile, there is absolutely NOTHING you can do or say that isn't going to make this worse.

I agree with Designer and Astro; contact your lawyer and do ONLY what HE/SHE says to do about it.
 
and change your equipment insurance policy address ASAP.
mention this to the lawyers as you will have to move the equipment per the insurance. As long as it's inventoried you shouldn't have too much of an issue getting it out of the house (hopefully).

Also, get a PO BOX as a more fixed address if you think you are going to be moving here and there until settled. just for an easy mailing address for everything versus having to change everything every so often.

just a few tips ....
 
I just borrowed a 200-400mm canon lens on cps eval

So the lens is NOT yours

She cant do any thing with my stuff because she is ordered not to touch or sell it.

Is she just ordered to not touch or sell YOUR stuff? Remember the lens is NOT yours.

i cant send them there lens back nor can my wife send it back because we are ordered not to sell any thing and she thinks i am going to sell it.

Again its NOT your lens and its NOT her lens. So what is wrong with sending the lens back to the people who actually do own it?
 
Ok i am not to contact her. nor to i want to.

I have no problem paying for the item i have money in the bank that i can still access.

I just dont want canon calling the po po saying i wont return there lens. but i dont think they can do that.

Its only a civil issue.

Plus my insurance covers loss of equipment from things like this all ready called my agent and if i file a clam it would be covered witch is good as i could get my money back on the lens.
 
Will spoke with canon they don't not handle cps over the phone and you are not allowed to call them. Correspondence is all via email wow.

i emailed the cps people so i post what they say.

Ok, well my divorce wasn't fun but it wasn't anywhere near that contentious. In fact I'm still in regular contact with my ex, but that's a necessirty at least until the youngest turns 18 and is out of the house. Well in this case I'd probably run it by your lawyer then and see what he/she thinks the best course of action will be - sounds like it's not going to e a financial loss for you either way so that's a plus.
 
I would have a police escort you over there to get it. You are under a contract with Canon to send it back by XYZ date, so she needs to fork it over. The contract does not exist with her, nor do you own the lens. I get lenses from CPS all the time, so make sure you print out that contract and take it with you.
 
Lucky she did not get my 600mm or my 800mm lens she does have my 400mm f/2.8 though ):

I have all most all of my equipment at my office so its safe.
