Some friends of mine were legally divorced 3 months ago. Apparently the woman decided she wanted more of the stuff that she left at the house Saturday night and BROKE IN to his house, broke two windows and took the Kirby Vaccum, a digital camera, a tape recorder , and the wiring to the VCR, DVD Player and TV, and a bunch of his cloths, and all of his bills and house payment book. He is pressing charges today, but... I am wondering if she will be charged with Breaking & Entry, Theft, Criminal Mischief, or what? Since the divorce was final, isn't it just as bad as stealing fron a stranger? He has her admitting she broke in and stole the stuff. How much trouble is she is in?

She's in a lot of trouble. She needs a lawyer. She committed theft if the divorce is final. Yes, she can be charged with all of that. What she took was legally his now. He can't come into her house and take back his things, either.

It is breaking & entering and burglary. In theory, charges could be charged and she should have to face a judge. She'll probably need to agree to pre-trial probation, return the stolen property, and stay out of trouble for a year. Otherwise, she could earn herself a criminal record and a little jail time.

She broke the law. regardless of their previous relationship. She will be charged with theft and destruction of private property most likely B&E as well unless she cuts a deal. the divorce will not impact the charges she had no legal reason to be there.

Even if the divorce was still pending - since she was no longer a legal residence of that address - what she did is considered Breaking and Entering

fines and possible jail time but yes she is breaking and entering and thats a crime. it doesnt matter if she was still married to him he would still be able to press charges since they are divorced it makes it even easier.
