Ex-husband Took Money After Decree Was Finalized.

Hi everybody. I have a question regarding bank accounts following a divorce. My friend and her husband had a joint account while married, but they finalized their divorce about 4 months ago. Today, she noticed that $1,000 was withdrawn from her account. She called her bank, and they gave her the name that signed for the cash. It was her ex-husband. Turns out she forgot to take his name off of the account that she was awarded. Are there legal actions she can take against him for that? Or is there nothing she can do about it, since his name was still on the account?

Secondly, her daughter posted a photo of him and his new wife (that he was having an affair with) on Facebook, basically blasting him for what he did to her mother. No threats, nothing incriminating, etc. He said today when called about the money that he would be filing a restraining order against the daughter. Which would likely lose her, her job as a paramedic. Would a restraining order be awarded against a woman that was clearly distraught for her mother following the whole ordeal? Thank you so much for the insight.
