So my dad had his other daughter living in his house in Indiana with her boyfriend for about 5 years. During this time the boyfriend started stealing his credit cards and money and using his vehicles and would shove him around and hit him. (He’s over the age of 65 btw) Plus stealing his medicines (I found my dad’s pill bottles going through their trash they left in their stuff.) and possibly tampering with the ones he needs to take every day for diabetes and other stuff.
Back in July he was finally able to obtain help to get them evicted with an order of protection from his house. The banks have been made aware of the money that he took from his accounts and also of him opening new cards with his name on it under my dad’s credit line. We haven’t heard of any progress if the banks were going to file charges against them for identity theft, they removed the charges from his accounts but then put some back on and he wouldn’t pay the bill because of it so now all of his lines of credit are frozen or closed or in dispute. Leaving it very difficult to get his groceries, pay bills or anything else he would need done.
When he left the house from being evicted he did a lot of damage to the house and the property, most of which we still have been unable to deal with still. Also when he left he stole thousands of dollars of my dad’s garage, tools and toolboxes and other garage items. He had this separate garage built in back for his workshop and it’s now been gutted and vandalized. As well as stealing furniture and appliances from the house.
He wants to sue him for the damages and money as well as get back his belongings which they have stashed at my mom’s house. So I guess my question is what kind of case is this, what kind of lawyer does he need and how do we go about this ?
