Tucson, AZ asked in Family Law for Colorado

Q: My mom and step dad have been seperated about a week not yet legally. He took her money, can she sell his things.

He withdrew all funds without her knowledge on the 13th and opened a separate account. The money he took was when she was involved in a car accident and her van was totaled. That was all the money she had to her name. Also he has been tracking her by phone and showing up to locations he is at. He has also gotten violent and she has several bruises. Can she legally start selling his belongings?
