I know this may not be the right place for this but I just need any answers or advice.
Long story short my mom and step dad divorced and until recently I found out they had a joint foreign account in Kenya to eventually retire there. Prior to the divorce my step dad had taken well over 6 figures out of it and emptied the account he has now self deported back to Kenya where officials could be bribed off.
This hurt me to my core when I heard this and I want to do whatever to make sure my mom gets her money back considering over 60% of that money was hers. My mom and is 60 and close to retirement that 60-70 grand she had probably changes that and she’ll probably have to work longer. She’s been in contact with him and he says he’ll give it back in July but the odds of that happening are pretty low as you can imagine.
I just don’t know what to do I know it’s a foreign account and subject to their policies but surely there has to be something. Even if it means he loses it all and we don’t get it back I’ll live with that.
If anybody has any advice on how to deal with this or even point me in the right direction that would be appreciated.
