Dad has stolen children's money (more than $25K set up in trust so his signature as well as kids' signatures required), and did so more than 7 months ago. Balances in accounts show around $100... definitely not hte thousands that were to be in those accounts.

Despite court order from 2 months ago which stated he had to return it within 15 days, he refuses to return the money, or provide access to the acccounts, particularly to one child who is now 19 years old. What process do I have to follow to enforce the court order and get my kids' money back?
 
How did he get the money if the kids signature was required?

If he did that he is in Contempt of Court (as per previous Court Order). That can carry a jail term - it's a serious offense.

You'll have to file a new Motion with the Court outlining your case.
 
whose names where the accounts in?? If they were in his and the kids names and not yours then I am not sure if you can take action. It may be up to the kids to sue him for the money. DId the kids sign when he took the money also??

Money in trust

Money in trust accounts as kids were under 18 years of age when they were established. Older daughter continued to contribute to account, but didn't have sole access. Dad was supposed to sign off that his signature is no longer required, but hasn't done so. Other investments also put under kids' names, but with only his signature required... hence money went "missing". Also supposed to provide monthly accounting of all accounts (trust and investment), but has failed to do so. Oldest daughter has had to defer going to school pending transfer/access to funds... Incredibly frustrating.
