Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Theft/divorce?

Not sure if this is the right area for part of my question, but I know someone, who is still married, and they have been seperated for a few years now. Anyway he don't have a job or any of that so lately he has been deciding to 'steal' stuff from her..Finally she called the cops and they said they can't do anything since they are still married, is that true? Also she is now getting the divorce, so will she be able to get her things back after she goes through with that? Might there be anything else she can do?

Re: Theft/divorce?

Once you marry someone, in the eyes of the law you are one. It is not illegal or possible to steal from one's self. Your friend needs to file for divorce so that her property and assets can be divided. She may be able to get her things back.
