URGENT: CIVIL CONTRACT AGREEMENT, CRIMINAL FILING, OR WHAT TO DO?
My boyfriend and I had been living together. He stole 000 worth of jewelry from me and took it to a pawn shop in March. Then, on Tuesday night, I saw that there were checks forged in my name that he had stolen from my checkbook. He has also committed debit card fraud. I confronted him, and he told me he had been using cocaine since June of 2007. I told him I was leaving him on Wednesday. He first pleaded with me, then grabbed a knife, held it at me, then at himself, saying he was "going to kill himself", shook me, then ran. I called his son to get him and 911. I was so flustered and did not want to get him in trouble, I forgot to mention the holding the knife up to me and shaking me. He was committed for a psychiatric evaluation. I received a temporary restraining order for him on 4/30. I went back to our shared residence (house is in his deceased mother’s name), and told him not to come near me when I was there and my car was there. He came in, I told him I was going to call 911, he shook me and told me not to call 911, I called 911, he yelled that he was going court, then he called 911 and said I assaulted him, and then he sped off. I have a court date for the restraining order for May 14. I have filed a police report regarding the stolen jewelery, which was an inheritance from my mother, on 5/01/2010. He has admitted in text messages that he pawned my 00 diamond and gold necklace,00 diamond ring, and 0 amythyst and gold ring. I have the empty boxes for all of the missing jewelery. I had kept my jewelery in a safe deposit box, but left it at home for a couple days because I thought I was going to wear it. He has forged 57 worth of checks, which I have reported to Bank of America. I am going to report the debit card fraud tonight, it is approximately 00. He also broke my front tooth in an accident when I fell off his back, which will cost me 75. He has had a history of drug abuse in his past. He is currently on methadone, which he has been on for at least the past 5-6 years, has smoked marijuana, and states that he has been doing cocaine since June of 2009, about 11 months. He lost his first wife and kids to a meth addiction. I would like restitution, in the form of the 000-12,000 amount he owes me (depending on how much I can claim). His boss and my ex boyfriend were trying to work out a restitution agreement where I would fill out a contract, then my ex boyfriend (the employee), would go to the bank, cash his paycheck, and leave a portion of it for me with his employer. I would then sign for it. This would be a Promisary Note with interest.
I would like to know the steps I should or can take, my rights under the restraining order, and whether or not you think it is in my best interest to go the civil route and make up a contract between me, my ex boyfriend, and his employer. If so, what would my rights be if there was a breach of contract?
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:
1) What legal rights would I have if I were to make a promissary note between me, my ex, and his boss, and get it notarized and signed?
2) Is there a statute of limitations for payment on a promissary note (if person were to default for a period of time, or pay for a while, then default on payments)?
3) How long could he miss payments before I could take it to civil court and sue? How does this process work?
4) What legal rights do I have to my belongings in his house, if it is stated in the restraining order that he is not to harm my belongings?
I live in WA state
