Divorced but doesn't feel like it!!!!!!! HELP

[RLR141]

I live in the Chicago area and I am at my wits end..
I was married on June 18, 2005, and divorced August 2006. Divorce was due to mental abuse. My ex-husband performed all kinds of financial fraud against me 90 days after we were married, inclusive of stealing $15,000 from my savings account with LaSalle Bank. This account was in my name only, and I had this account 12 years before meeting my ex.

Next, he used my credit cards without my knowledge or consent causing me to close them in a debt consolidation credit card, which he used also without my consent. Next, he opened credit cards in my name without my knowledge or consent with American Express and Musician’s Friend to the amount of $9000.00. I had a credit score of 730 before meeting this man, but now I am financially rudened.

In 2006 I file for divorce and divorce was finalized in August 2006. Judge ruled in default and gave me all I asked for in divorce filings due to my ex-husband not appealing in court.

I thought this would be the end of this nightmare, but it has not. My ex-husband refuses to leave me alone, or honor at part of the divorce settlement. He refuses to move out of my condo here in Oak Park. He will give me money from time to time, but nothing close to what was granted to me in divorce settlement. I have been struggling to pay most of the bills, while my ex-husband is out gambling at the Out Track Betting. I believe he has a addiction problem. This is what he did with the $15,000 from my saving account.

He makes just as much money as me and we are both educated professionals. I initially, I let this situation run along due to fear, and a lack of funds to take my ex-husband back to court… I can’t go on like this anymore, and I am not afraid anymore..

Now, I must move on with my life and get out of this situation. I am seeking a very experience attorney that has dealt with situations like this to bring closure to this mess. Please advise. I never went through anything like this before and don't know what to do with this situation. Thank you,
