My father stole my inheritance by neglecting to notify me of it and started portraying himself as me since December 1997. I believe I should be suing him for neglect of fiduciary duties toward me — I’ve already tried. Illinois law says I can only file the report within the city where I reside.

They admitted it was a mistake and agreed to repay me, and I have evidence of this. They have also defrauded another individual. My credit card company has reversed some of the fraudulent charges. The leasing company is attempting to collect rent from me, even though I wasn’t the primary tenant and they haven’t contacted them. The acquaintance has stopped responding to my messages. This situation is in Chicago, IL.

Just a few days after driving it, the engine light came on. I called and they said they couldn’t do anything for me — but on the buyer’s guide, it says I have a dealer warranty. Now they’re saying I forged that document, even though it was the document on the window when the car was transported to me.

He filed the EOP after he recorded the social worker coming to my house. That weekend, he and the other roommate stayed at a hotel after I had to call the police — he threatened me after I confronted him for secretly video recording my 9-year-old without consent. He left during the police call and didn’t return until almost midnight. Then he and the roommate (Tim) started taking belongings out of the house. The next day, he told me he had found a new place and I could have the apartment. I have that on audio. I emailed the landlord about the situation, asking for rental assistance or a smaller unit. But the next day, he and Tim came back. I assumed it was to get more stuff, so I called for a police standby. When the officer arrived and asked if he was moving out, he became hostile and said it was his house and he wasn’t leaving. The officer told us she couldn’t remove anyone since both of us lived there. Then Monday, April 28th, 2025, he went to court and filed the EOP with our daughter listed. I was removed from the home with my two other kids. The judge put his mom in charge of arranging my parenting time, but I’ve been denied visits — she says she has to check with him or is “busy cleaning the house.” I was only able to see my daughter when a police officer went with me to pick up my wallet during a standby. They had gone through my room, closet, boxes, mail, everything. I only had a few minutes with my daughter. I live in Illinois. The court date for his EOP is May 12th. He filed it in retaliation after learning I was trying to get out safely with my kids. What do I do?
