I stayed in my ex-husband's house for 3 weeks to take care of our daughter who is 14 years old. He was pressuring me to get back together with him so I left. I live in another state.
Now, he is claiming that I "stole" things from his house. I only took my personal belongings that were still in the house.
He does not have home insurance on his home. I know that the truth is on my side and I did not take the items he is claiming (money, jewelry, etc).
Can he make up stories and sue me to get the reimbursement for items that he claims that I took? He left me numerous voicemails saying the I was a "thief" and left voicemails at my parents.
He is not the type to keep quiet, so I am wondering what will happen now. He has turned his family against me. His niece used to be my friend on facebook and has now deleted me as a friend.
I am just worried about his next move. Will he sue me?

If he sues you he will have to prove by a proponderence of the evidence that you did in fact take whatever he claims that you took.
If you didn't take anything you have nothing to worry about.
Unfortunately you will have to put up with his BS until he gets tired of his idiotic antics.
Good luck!

He has to make his case. He has to name each item and prove you took them.
All you have to do is say, "I didn't take them", and the burden of proof shifts back to him.
(The real question you have to ask yourself is: what did you take? was it really yours to take? You'll be asked in the courtroom anyway, might as well test yourself now before it comes to that. Prove your ownership and your right to have the items.)
Most men who harrass do so because they have neither the confidence nor the intention of taking any other action. The best thing you could do for yourself is maintain a good character and don't break the law yourself by doing something stupid. Every time you do, it's ammunition he can use against you.

unless he has proof of the stuff he says you took and bank statements stating you took money if the money was just laying around he has no proof he can't do a thing it's your word against his word which probably would not stand up in court anyway no proof no case commonsence.

He can try but it doesn't sound like he has much of a case, he has to prove that he actually possesed the items and that you actually took them.
