If you have no current restraining orders in effect and your current residence (i.e. the one printed on your drivers license, not where you are currently staying) is listed as being the address at which your belongings are located, then yes.
However!!
Most law enforcement officials will recommend that you request a police officer to be present while you remove your belongings. This is recommended for many reasons. First and foremost is your safety. Second is that you have an official third party present should anything happen that needs to be documented.
Contact the police department in the town or city that serves the residence where your belongings are located. Explain that you wish to have a police officer present while you remove your possessions. If you arrive at the residence BEFORE
the police, do not exit your vehicle or attempt to approach
the residence. Wait for the police to escort you onto the property.
Some police departments will take it so far as to have you meet them at a specified location (not the residence) and will escort you from there.
By using a police officer you will now have documented proof (police dispatch reports) that you had no malicious intentions in visiting the residence. The sole purpose of your visit was to remove your belongings. This goes a long way in court should you have to appear for divorce proceedings.
