It sounds like those items belong to either your father or his now ex-wife. Entitlement to those items is goverened by the divorce decree. If your father does not want to pursue it, it may be that your only recourse is to appeal to her good nature. Good luck with that.

First if you and your ex wife each have attorneys, it usually is the rule to communicate to her attorney and not directly. Second, Double Jeopardy is a criminal principle and doesn't apply here.
I am sorry to hear about your situation. If credit cards were procured under your name without your consent, that is a criminal matter.
This depends on exactly what the divorce decree says. Do you get half of the profit or does she just need to refi/sell? You should consult with an attorney to review your paperwork and advise you how best to proceed.
