Generally speaking, any property acquired during the marriage is community property....regardless of whose name the account is in or who usually controls it.  It is, therefore, legal for either spouse to access or control the asset. With that in mind, if your spouse took funds that were community property, then most likely law enforcement will not press charges against your spouse because it's not against the law to steel from yourself or your own marital estate.However, if this was a separate property account (meaning that the asset was obtained prior to marriage), then you would have a better shot at filing a theft claim because the asset was your property independently, not the two of your jointly.You can attempt to file charges.  But you will most likely have to file for divorce if you want any relief.  You can request the court to award you an uneven share of the community estate since she has actively engaged in acts of fraud (and/or wasting of community assets) which depleted your right to the various accounts.  The idea is that your spouse has already received a large share of the community estate, therefore you should have a right to a greater share of whatever is left to compensate for the loss.
