The Bacardis were divorced in 1996 but lived together afterward in a $1.6 million West Caldwell mansion.
Fifty-three-year-old Frances Bacardi tells The Post her 55-year-old husband began acting erratically last year and emptied the house after she moved out last fall.
Records show Bacardi recently transferred ownership of the home to his eldest daughter, now 21. Nobody lives there, but she is responsible for the $23,000 annual taxes.
