I'm disabled

Epipsy, PTSD and severe panic disorder.

After a four year criminal harassment court battle with our former duplex neighbor who was found guilty my husband who witnessed the trauma and it's damage that blew through my life. He himself after vacating our home and three days after asking for divorce, he admitted to having without my knowledge or consent accessed and copied information from my device and continues to do so. He's drained all accounts. I have several documents proving he's long been hiding assets and income. I just found two forms on an older device. They are involuntary commitment forms.

I feel at the least he is attempting to use my disability as as the cause and his cover for his own actions several of which are illegal actions.

The embryonal damage and drain is fast beginning unable and threatening my health daily.

I need help with what is considered a crime vs simple not caring and invalidation

A: It sounds like you need the Probate Court's intervention in the form of Temporary Orders concerning exclusivity of possession of the home and orders concerning preservation of the asset if it is a home owned by the parties and spousal support and return of the liquidated marital funds - you have not mentioned children. A Divorce Complaint which does not have to be just for cruel and abusive treatment but can also include it aIong with that terminology the reference to the Irretrievable Breakdown of the Marriage where marital misconduct can also be raised to the Court is the best route to achieve your objectives. Your seeking a criminal complaint could even deplete funds further for the future for that matter.
