Hey all, I wasn't really sure where to post this so please feel free to redirect me if there's a better subreddit for my inquiry.
My girlfriend (23) just went on a trip to Jamaica with me and my family for my brother's wedding. She still lives at home with her parents since she just graduated college recently, but we had both been saving up to move out in a few months. She had told her parents that we were going on the trip, and they were initially okay with it, but her dad changed his mind at the last minute. She decided to go anyways because obviously the hotel and plane tickets had already been purchased and she's an adult who can make these decisions for herself. Since returning home, her dad has gone full control freak and taken away her phone, her car, and the $12,000 that she had been saving up for the past 2 years.
Thankfully she got a hold of the car title and it's in her name, so that should work out fine. But the bank account she had been using was still connected to her dad's account. Is there any legal recourse she could take to get her money back, say if she's able to prove income? Her parents are both here in the US illegally, so we'd rather not get police involved if we don't have to, but we will if that's our only option. We also live in the state of North Carolina if that is relevant information.
Thanks so much in advance to anyone who answers. This whole situation is a clusterfuck that I've never been in before.
