Once that person was found or pleaded guilty, you could file a pro se
action in your court, in your county. That way you could get back the
other half.

I must concur with wheelchair here. If you do not stand up for
yourself, it is difficult to expect others to do so. I had an aide steal
a sizable amount of money from me about nine years ago. I pressed
charges, but the county in which I reside chose not to prosecute, but
thankfully the county in which the person cashed the stolen checks decided to
prosecute. In the state of Florida it is a felony to defraud or steal
from a disabled/elderly person. She will never be taking care of anyone
again. Even though restitution only amounted to about half of the amount
taken, I felt considerably better knowing she would not be taking advantage of
someone else.
