Is there a legal ramafication for an ex-spouse to forge my name on a check?
My ex wife is living in our home under the court order of use and possession; during this time the house was broken into. The insurance company issued a check in both of our names, [that is how the policy is written] to replace HER stolen property. She without my knowledge or permission forged my name on the check. The bank said that they will not do anything, it would be a civil matter. Although I am not due any money from the check, I am very concerned about her disregard for my rights, and the law. Do I have a case? What is the penalty for her actions?
