If you two are divorced no. Don't accept anymore of his gifts now that you know. You may be liable after the fact for accepting these goods knowing how they were purchased. Then again, I'm not a lawyer so don't take my word for it.

No, you are not liable as long as your name is not on the account. Make sure of that!!
Now that you know what he's been doing, breathe easy knowing that he's an ex.
It would be proper for you to return the gifts now that you know that they were acquired under false pretenses. And accepting any further gifts would be ethically out of the question, needless to say.

If you are divorced and your name is not on the checking account you are not liable, but you should probably check with the police to see if you need to file a report for the items he "stole".
If your still legally together or your name IS on the account, I would contact a lawyer immediately to find out what you need to do to cooperate with the police and turn in the goods.

if your name is on the account you are liable to pay them back. I would take him to small claims court and get your name off the account. Place an add in the paper saying you are no longer responsible for any debts incurred by him from this date forward. Place the add in al the surrounding news papers and keep copies too!
Good luck girlfriend!

If you are also on the account. A lot of businesses will charge a set fee for a bounced check AND your bank will have a fee. If these are not paid, your checking account will be closed and most companies slap collection accounts for twice the amount of the bounced check onto your credit report. I've even seen collections from McDonald's for bounced checks!

No you're not liable because you didn't sign them. My current husband did the same thing and both of our name was on the checking account so when they sent the warrant out it was in his name because he signed the checks. not me

Yes, if you're on the checking account. Ethically, yes, because you are receiving stolen merchandise.
