Not if he doesn't have you charged with theft, which is technically what you did. There are mitigating circumstances however, and maybe the judge will take pity on you due to the fact that your ex will owe you for support. Don't do anything like that again, and maybe get some legal advice.

If he wants to press charges, you may have to go to court.This does not necessarily mean you will go to prison - you could receive a different punishment (suspended sentence, fine, etc). The court will take into account how much money was involved, the period of time over which you used the card and what the money was used for. You should seek legal advice - if you are in England or Wales, contact the Legal Service Direct Help Line on 0845 345 4 345 and they can give you a list of firms in your area that should be able to help you. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for free advice and representation.

Taking money from another persons credit card account is theft, which is a criminal offence. If you were charged and found guilty of this offence you could be sent to prison, or (if not sent to prison) be ordered to pay back what you stole plus a fine.
The best thing to do is to settle your debt to your ex as soon as possible. If you are unable to settle directly with your ex because of possible violence or harassment, it may be possible to settle via an intermediary, whether a trusted family friend or a lawyer.

easily you probably did not take money out of your ex, you've defrauded the commercial corporation. i'd assume the probabilities of the catching up with you're exceedingly distant even if. Your ex boyfriend is infrequently in a position to contest it - he's not any longer decrease back for over 10 years. Collections will come writing/knocking finally, yet save in recommendations he's to blame for the stability, and nobody else. when they have evidence he's in reformatory in a overseas usa, they'll write off the account as they haven't any lifelike danger of fix. So likely, save your mouth close and also you'll in no way might want to fret about it. this does no longer excuse you from being truly stupid even if. that is in no way a good suggestion to commit fraud. wish you are able to positioned this finished sorry episode behind you.

Depends on the state, your marrage time, your split time, etc... In PA, if the amount is over $500.00 it can be concidered a felony if you would have stolen the cards. Did he allow you to use the cards before? There are alot of variables. I would call and attorney and ask!!!!!

no because once upon time he was your man they don't know if he give you the card to use or not at that time.Not unless he report stolen then he still can't put on you.Just forget about that he had to pay the cost to be the Boss, oh,well that's life

If he did not give you authorization (which I would hope you got in writing) if he wants to press charges, he can. While you may not end up in jail, you could end up with some hefty fines, have to pay retribution and end up on parole.
