From my experience no. I had a friend in the same situation. Her husband took money, forged checks, took her car and when she called the police they said they sympathized and the officer even called his supervisor to see what could be done about it. The police stated since they were married everything is considered his as well as hers and nothing could be done about it.

I don't know about the state of GA. but a friend of mine pressed charges on him when a check he stole from her bounced. If the wife is smart she will go file leagal seperation, and make sure that her money is a bank on a seperate account. I went through the whole taking money for drugs issue with my ex. They never change, if they will take from the family they'll take from anyone. I would also recommend an EPO, if hes on drugs and breaking into her private property, he may do so again.

Actually, if the safe is in the home they share, and there is no divorce pending - she can't file theft on her husband. It is considered marital property and if he wants to break it he can.
However what she can go after him for is forgery due to signing her name on the checks.
Banks are supposed to have a check system in place to ensure that the signatures on checks match, they apparently didn't do that with any of the checks the husband used (possibly due to the workers in the bank knowing them too well) and she might be able to take action against the bank as well.
She needs to contact the police, the bank & and an attorney.

In most states, technically, half of her money is his money, and vise versa.
So on that part I dont think she can press charges.
However, he stole the checks, and used them. I presume he is not authorized to use them and therefore he commited fraud.
She cannot press charges on that but the DA can as long as she reported it.
Further, he violated his parole which DA would revoke as long as she reported it if she knows for a fact.
One question though. If she wants to press charges and send him back to jail, why is she still married to him?
Good Luck.

If he forged your signature on the cheques you will most likely be able to charge him with that...I think that if you gave him any pin numbers for your bank cards it won't be considered stealing because you gave him access this happened to me before couldn't do anything about it. But the forging you can get him for.

Of course she can!! Why is she waiting to do that?
I'd have called the police and pressed charges right away.It's stealing no matter who it's from.

Yes she can. Have her call the police and get out of the house and away from him. Have her also get a restraining order if she believes that he will cause harm to her.
