Location: Georgia, Florida, new York? I think.
My dad and step mom are currently refusing to give me(19f) my bank account bc they claiming I’m ‘unstable’ even they have no prof of it. The only proof they ‘have’ is me attempting to talk to my father about the abuse I experienced when I used to live there. It’s a savings account from my childhood as well as lots of different jewelry and fine China that kind of stuff. I have no idea where I’m even supposed to start bc I live in Georgia, they move between Florida and NY and my bank in NY. I was so young when we created the account I can’t even remember the bank to try to check it out and call them possibly, i had a big argument With my step mom before I told them I want my bank account and inheritance from my mom since there is no reason for me to keep waiting for this money, bc he is now saying I have to save 10,000 to get my account and stuff back, and to be mentally stable, even though he has no proof im not, as i already am in therapy bc of the shit they put me through. And this account has a significant amount of money and I’m struggling with money when there should be no reason for me to.
Edit: forgot to mention I tried to find a lawyer but I can’t find the right one and if someone could direct me that would be great

You forgot some important info, how old are you?
Sorry to be the bearer is bad news but do you have any proof the account still exists?
Abusive parents refusing to hand over money that belongs to you already usually screams the money is gone but they will keep setting forever moving goal posts to conceal it from you until it’s too late.
If the account is in your name then you should go just call around to as many banks as you can think of in the area. If it was in your parents name, chances are you’re SOL.
