Well not much I am afraid. If they have been separated, they pretty much don't share (one will argue) really anything ==separation usually means property is treated as separate property.
You can try bringing a motion to the court -- but that could take a while.
Sit down with a lawyer and see if anything can be done, especially if you suspect your half sister is taking advantage of your father. Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at www.calbar.ca.gov under attorney search.
