Here in CT, once we send that paperwork to court it is out of our hands. The courts (a superior court judge) decides when and if you get things back. Until the court orders the release, we are not giving it back. If the court ordered that, you are probably beat until the time is up.

We do have a form that can be submitted asking to expedite the return of property, and I have seen property returned very quickly. Maybe see if that is something that is available to you.
