It's done! He is gone!
Hang in there girl.
You didn't need that extra 200 pounds hanging around your neck anyway.
Somebody who's enough of a dick to clean you out financially AND leave you with the kids is enough of a weasel to try and screw you over legally as well.
A good offense is the best defense - I know a good divorce lawyer, if you need help finding one.

Good for you for staying strong!!!!

I'd call the cops and charge him with theft if the bank accounts were joint.. contact the bank and the lawyers.
. if he wants to play dirty then its time to break out the mega-*****!! (i can give you leassons if you need them 
Sounds like you are already on the road to a much better place!! and congrats on the weightloss! ((HUGS))

Unfortunately she can't have him charged. If the accounts were joint it means either one of them has access to all of the funds. You could sue him in small claims court though if you think you have a way to collect. The most important thing is to get your paycheque into a new account he can't access ASAP. Good luck with your new life.
Congratulations Traci. I have to agree with the others; you are better off without him if he thought so little of you and your kids. You look amazing and I'm glad that you are handling the situation so well. If the guys asking for your numbers are worthy of you, I hope you gave it to them! Keep up the good work and keep us posted. We are here if and when you need us - just shout. Big hugs.

My friend just went through something similar a few years ago...
hubby left took the truck
cleared out the bank accounts leaving the mortgage to bounce
he declared bankruptcy so they could not come after him for the house or child support (or so he thought)
she lost the house within 6 months...
she had to take out loans to buy a new/used car and to consolidate credit cards ect...
they finally went to court to have everything solved in front of a judge... the judge ordered ex to pay
all service fees involved with bouncing the house payments / car payments
he also ordered him to pay the MAX in child support
he also ordered ex to pay ALL interest on current loans because if he had not screwed her she would not have had to take them out
the judge asked for a statement on the value of the house before the foreclosure and divided that number in half and ordered ex to "buy her out" of the house
ex has to pay for ALL therapy for the children because of the abandonment issues the kids are now facing.
karma is a ***** he will get his..

What a great guy.
I remember gettinga call from the bank sayingthey were going to foreclose on the house that my ex was living in. He kept the house and kicked ME out, (because I was too poor to afford it). Turns out he hadnt paid the mortgage in 3 months.
I managed to pay back what he owed, move into the house and I *did* go to a lawyer. He was supposed to leave all the furniture in the house so I could sell it or use it as collateral or whatever for the missed mortgage payments.
The day I moved back in, it was totally cleaned out. He had taken switchplates, lightbulbs, the dishwasher from under the sink....the patio furniture (he was moving to an apartment that didnt even have a balcony!!)
After that, he was ordered to pay me a certain amount back....which he never did. The lawyer basically said....well that sucks. Sorry.
Sounds like you really did the right thing. Your new life will be a (healthy!!) adventure and you will love every minute of it :)
Good luck!!
