Q: Our daughter has been misbehaving. She had lost a few things at school and constantly forgot to bring her homework home. I had told her if she continued to misbehave, I would take her toys away from her. And I did. When my husband found out, he accused me for "traumatizing" our daughter. I tried to explain to him that depriving the valuable stuff from kids (TV time, play time, and etc) is a way to help discipline them but he wouldn't listen. Last night he threatened to take my stuff away if I didn't give the toys back to our girl. I told him she has to "earn" it back. This morning when I was about to go to work, I found that my handbag was gone - he put my purse on the sofa, but took away the handbag. Can I call the cop? Would it make a bad record for his future job (banking)?
A: David's Answer: I doubt the police would consider this larceny, much less "domestic violence" (which is the category you posted this in). If things are that bad between you & your husband, you may wish to consider filing for divorce. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
