My wife and I are separated. We owned a truck jointly.we had filed an insurrane claim on the truck while still together.while being separated she took possession of 4 checks totaling over 9000 dollars.one of the check I know was sent to the body shop owner. The check was made out to the body shop and me and possibly two checks. The body shop owner endorsed the checks and gave them to her.two other checks made out to me were sent to the residence I was no longer living at.she signed my name on all checks and deposited them in a joint account while I was incarcerated for a very short time and spent the money withot having the truck fixed. She also borrowed money from a bank where she has done business for years against a harley davidson motor cycle that was solely in my name on the title. And now still has the bike and refuses to give it to me. I do not care about the bike,but, are this acts of forgery which I can pursue criminally?

The only way to file criminal charges, of course, is to go your Police Department and explain the situation.

The wording in your Separation Agreement will have an effect on their decision whether to file charges. Take the Separation Agreement with you.
