I am in a similar situation, I am going to be gone the day after Christmas til Jan 3rd and STXH is going to be home alone. My attorney told me to take good pictures of every room. Take the valuable jewelery out and such. But according to the attorney belongings are to be split down the middle. What ever he deems to destroy is only hurting himself. So take major pics and leave them with your sister. This way your covered for any damage he had done or things he may take and say was never there. Like sell furniture for next to nothing to his buddies. This is all documented as marital property with pictures.
