Legal Question in Family Law in California

I filed for Divorce (thought it was legal separation) on 08/2011. Up until recently, I didn't realize I was being set up again as He wanted to reconcile after learning of my father's rapid decline & death in 2014. My husband is a narcissist and has taken advantage of my father's money for quite some time. Again, throughout 2014 & 10 months in 2015; he "used me" just to get access to my inheritance. 1) Is it illegal to withdraw all cash out of my account, informing me the account was overdrawn each week - asking me for more money, then I called the Bank Manager & she told me about his entire cash withdrawal is what caused me a loss of $497+ (that's minimal compared to the money he had bilked from my dad & I).

I have the Summons, Petition, Declaration (for child custody - no longer necessary), but will need spousal support asap, as well as Restitution (loan documents, elder abuse, spousal abuse) & attorney's fees since He is only one with income. My Dr. wants me to go on disability for awhile as I recover from 2 back procedures, extensive oral surgeries & healing my mind, emotions & grieving of all losses.

Can this process be completed with our Divorce? I live in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, CA

All good/legal suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Katherine

Hire an attorney to represent you. Request that your husband pay your attorney fees. This situation is too complex to attempt to obtain assistance over the internet. The attorney should help reduce the stress.
