Bank made a big mistake

[Thercio]

My bank made a mistake and let my ex-wife withdraw a large amount of money from an account she was not a co-signer. With the money she was able to buy tickets and fly to another country with my kids. I am now away from my kids and cannot do anything to bring them back. I've had to quit my job and move to this country, lived there for 3 years but nothing can convince my ex-wife to come back to US.

This happen in 2004 when my ex-wife and I were getting divorced. Had the bank not made that mistake I would likely have my kids around and would have not incurred major financial losses due to me being forced to move internationally. Now I can only see them if I fly international once every 3-4 months.

I am looking for a lawyer to work on 100% contigency and sue this bank for this error that caused me major problems and suffering from being away from my kids.

I have the original bank transaction receipt shwoing the withdraw by my-ex-wife.

You're talking 2004...even if you did find an attorney to help you out (which I seriously doubt) you'd have no leg to stand on. Did you follow the procedures to file a claim for an unauthorized withdrawal that was explained to you in your depository agreement?

Not only that, how are you going to prove that she wouldn't have gotten the money some other way, if the bank had not allowed this withdrawal?
