Handle THIS FIRST...the house. Live gave you excellent advice. Give a warning via a letter from the attorney. I would spell out what will happen if she violates this request.

I would inform her in a certified letter, maybe use your lawyer to help you craft it, that she can no longer enter your home unless she has permission and you are present. The next time she does, call the police and inform them she is trespassing and removing articles from the home. Unless you do something, she will continue to do and take as she pleases. Most likely the police will ask her to return the items and leave without actually charging her with anything. Let her take you to court to gain entrance if need be.
Check this off the list...And, I know you will tell D14 not to feel responsible. Maybe tell her that you are so sorry she is stuck in the middle. If it helps, when my parents divorced and my dad was acting like a total as4hat, I was so proud of my mom when she stood up for herself.
Check this one off the list...It's been an issue for too long and seems to be gaining momentum. Get this one handled and it will be one less thing for you to worry about...
Otherwise, you will come home to an empty house.
