Sue husband(now ex) for burning down our house that insurance denied the claim
My husband (now ex) burned down our family owned house a couple years ago, the insurance company denied the claim. The husband did not serve time in jail although he was found guilty of arson. Can I sue him for the losses of personal property of the rest of the family(2 children and myself)

Re: Sue husband(now ex) for burning down our house that insurance denied the claim
Yes, you can sue him for damages, although the statute of limitations might be a problem. You only have 2 years from the date of the incident to file against him for conversion, 4 years under other theories. If the house was dealt with in a divorce decree, you may also have a contempt action against him in domestic relations court.
