Is there any legal action I can take for my husband depriving me money and knowledge of it?

Answered by attorney Robert Andrew Michael Burns (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Robert Burns
You portray Husband as a serial violator of his fiduciary duties to you as your spouse. You certainly can make claim for these violations, and sue upon it, with or without seeking a legal separation or divorce. You either need to be able already to prove these abuses or you likely would face substantial accountant and attorney fees to find and develop whatever evidence exists. Perhaps you should get Husband evaluated for need for a conservatorship or, at least, someone exercising rights under an estate plan (e.g., powers of attorney, living trust) who hopefully would better honor Husband's fiduciary obligations to you. This fiduciary could look into past abuses if you wish and certainly should avoid future abuses.

Can I change locks and take possession of the residence if spouse does not move out on an agreed date after it was awarded on divorce?

If there is an order ratifying the agreement, just call the police to have the spouse removed. Even if there is no order, the police may convince the spouse to move out.

You need to make sure that you were not defaulted or the case was not dismissed and that the case is still active. Check your case file to see what documents have been filed.
