Ex-partner who I have a restraining order against has been using my debit card for the last 2 years.
Post Body

I have a restraining order against my ex-parnter (we were not married, no kids) for the last 2 years which is still active. I live in RI and, at the time the restraining order was filed, he lived in Massachusetts. I believe he lives in RI now. I recently noticed discrepancies in my bank statements in the form of Apple purchases that didn't line up with my own. I called Apple support and they said that someone had my debit card linked to their Apple account. They confirmed it was my ex. This seems to have started 2 months after the restraining order was granted, and he never had permission to use my card even before that. The Apple bills and overdraft fees caused by them over this time period adds up to about $1700. It was easy to tell what Apple purchases weren't mine because I can see my purchase history in my Iphone settings, but my worry is that he had been using my card for other things as well. Since he's been using my card for 2 years, I think it will be difficult to tell in bank statements what purchases were actually my own and what wasn't.

My questions are: Is there a way to find out if he was using my my card for other things? Are lawyers able to request information from say, banks that would be able to tell for sure via IP address or something? If it does end up just being the $1700 he stole, would it even be worth it to get a lawyer for small claims court? How does the context of the restraining order affect all of this? Thank you in adnvance.
