I've just found out my ex has stolen all my money from my bank account ( internet account). I still don't know how he did it, but the banks told me the name of the account it went into to. I'm devastated and furious to say the least. We share the care of our 2 young sons and I can't believe he did this. The money was this months mortgage payment and food and bills. I don't work so this has put me back a lot.
I've got the police and the banks involved, but they don't think they can do much. I even rung his Mum for advice and she threatened me!!!!!!!!!
My question is
I know he's just gone for a job interview and I've told him if he doesn't give me the money back by tonight I will ring his new employer and tell them how dishonest he is. Should i do this???
I don't really want to as he's been unemployed for 2 years and I really want him to work. It would benefit our kids as well. At the same time I want to hurt him so badly now, as this is not the first time he has stolen from me..about the 6th!!!!, but I've never been able to prove it until now.
We have not been together for about 3 years but were getting on very well for the kids sake..or so I thought! why would he do this?
Part of me really wants revenge, which is not normally in my nature. I do have to be careful as he has threatened me and told me to watch my back.
I don't know what to do

Just wondering why you have not changed things so that he could not get into the accounts- is his name on them as well?

We have never had joint accounts. His name has never been on any of my accounts. He's never known my account details. This is what I'm upset about. Somehow he's found out my password and log in numbers from my computer...and they're not stored anywhere, and done it all via the internet.

By definition you are a victim of IDENTITY THEFT. Here is a good website:
http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/federallaws.html
Scroll down and check your state law. Go BACK to the police and your bank and tell them you are a victim of identity theft. Get as much information about what happened as you can. If they continue to do nothing then you call the FBI. Yes, the FBI.
Hopefully you've closed the account. In the future use a meaningless string of characters for a password. You might have used the same password for several things and he became aware of it, or he made a good guess based on information that he knows about you.
Oh, and you need to report his threats to you to the police. Not only is it criminal threatening, if he is charged with a crime it would become witness tampering.
As far as I'm concerned he has also forfieted his right to see his kids. He stole the money for their food and shelter. If he doesn't work and doesn't support them, I don't see a family court judge deciding against you.
I'm praying you have the strength to carry this through. :angel:

You can also take him to small claims court for lost wages and child support money since he has a new job.
I don't recommend you calling his new boss because it could make things worse on your end.
