Screwed by girl friend while incarcerated

I recently was released from prison serving a one year term. while I was away my ( girl friend ) collected rents from my nproperty ,she got me for over 15000 dollars. How do I go about informing the IRS thaT SHE COLLECTED THE RENTS? Could anyone estimate the taxes she would owe? Plan on taking her to court to win judgement against her . She has very little money . Left me with over 1000 dollars in unpaid utililty bills , which were in my name, failed to give deposits back. Could anyone help me out in finding ways to get a little legal revenge back ?

For all practical purposes, possession remains 90% of the law. In your case, your ex girlfriend (I really hope she is an ex after that!) possess your money. Now it's up to you to get it back. That requires a lawsuit and if she doesn't have the money at the end of the day, you probably will never collect from her.

Your options:
1.You can say she “stole” the money from you. That's a criminal matter. That would require the “State” to go after her, not you. “People vs. girlfriend” not “broke vs. girlfriend”. All you can do is take the matter to the police and try to get them interested in pursuing her. Given your circumstances however, I doubt they would do that.
2.Sue her. She probably won't even show up to court. You'll get a default judgment against her that you can pursue at any time in the next 10 years. If she has no money now, you can ruin her credit by reporting the judgment to the credit agencies. For the next ten years she will not be able to buy a house, buy a car, get a credit card or anything else involving her credit. And, if she ever has a bank account or any possession, you can go after it. The only way she will be able to get rid of that judgment is either trying to get it vacated early on or through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will ruin her credit anyway, and getting a court to vacate the judgment will require her to actively defend herself in a new suit. If your case is good, you'll win anyway. Now the down side to this is that you will need to get a general civil litigation lawyer to file the suit, and a lawyer to collect against her if it goes that far. That will cost you some money.
3.Forget it, move on with your life. Revenge can be sweet, but it's rarely worth it.

Those are your options, let me know what you end up doing!

The legal system is setup to resolve issues so that both parties receive a balanced justice. Hopefully. Never have I heard of it being a tool for revenge. Dumb idea. Kind of like breaking the law and going to jail for a year and leaving your assets with a person without any means of self support. What did you expect?
Take your licks, stay out of jail and become a responsible citizen. Or, on your next "vacation" hire a property management company to guard your interests. However, if you feel the need for a "girlfriend" to take care of your possessions; GET IT IN WRITING!
From the reading of your post you will gain little to nothing from not just dropping the whole issue and moving "FORWARD" in your life. Consider it a divorce settlement.
Good Luck in the future.
