My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
Ok so I had a miserable ten year marriage, we had two disabled kids, and finally got a divorce about eight or nine years ago. Since then, he's had a LOT of my jewelry. It's all 24k laser cut, from Saudi Arabia, all presents when I went to visit his family with our son. He estimated the value of the jewelry at over 10k when he asked my permission to sell it a couple of years ago. I refused permission, and demanded he give it to me. He hemmed and hawed and said he had to 'find' it.
He strung me along for a couple of years, and since he is prone to violence he knew he could get me to back down if he screamed loud enough about the 'pressure' I was putting on him.
Today he yelled that he sold the jewelry to pay taxes on the apt I am in, since he was letting me live there. (He owns the apt,and said I could live there rather than him pay child support, which I regret now)
So yeah, basically he stole my stuff to pay taxes on HIS property so he could avoid child support. I am at a total loss of what to do now. It wasn't just one set, it was several, given to my children and I over a ten year period. I don't know when he sold it, or who to. He said years ago to sell it to a gold jewelry store, not a pawn shop I'd get a higher value, and that was when I started asking for it back, worried he'd do exactly what he did.
