Hi,
I am asking if it is possible to sue a third party for theft of property?
6 years ago my ex wife abducted our three children to Japan. My ex wife gave power of attorney to a work colleague who subsequently stripped our rental property of all chattels and goods, including my martial art equipment that would have allowed me an income. Our bank accounts were also stripped. I was subsequently left out on the street with nothing.
I had no idea who did what, until this year, when I received some documents from a lawyer in Japan. Amongst them was an admission from this third person, that she and her husband stripped the rental property of all contents and apparently gave most of it away. All the contents of our rental house was bought brand new from IKEA, and other leading providers, less than two years prior. Since my Japanese wife and I were married, I believe that I am legally entitled to half of all assets, monies, etc.
This third person,and her husband thought otherwise, and took the law into their own hands.
I have suffered financially for 6 years, due to their callous action and complete disregard for Victorian law regarding marital division of property and assets.
I wish to sue for my share of what we had, at least, and also for the financial suffering that I have had to endure these past 6 years, due to their actions leaving me with nothing.
It has taken me 6 years to claw my way back financially, and now that I have their written confession as to what they did, I wish to sue for compensation. Is this possible?
Can I be pointed in the right direction regarding lawyers? Which type of lawyer to utilise? Criminal, local? I need guidance please.
I await your response with anticipation
Sincerely yours
