I'm an 18 year old from the States, but I'm currently living in Switzerland for college. My parent have announced that they are getting a divorce because my mother cheated on my dad with a family "friend". My brother, 17 yr. old and my sis, 13 yr old are at home dealing with all this stuff.
I've decide to drop out of college to get a job a support the family, because not only did my mom have an affair she stole my identity and wrote checks in my name all while I was in Switzerland. So to make a long story short, we are poor and according to my father I'm going to be arrested for her crimes when I get back to the states. But I can't clear my name b/c I have no money to call a lawyer nor do I have money to hire one.
But I think that my father might be lying about the police b/c that's what my brother seems to think. My mother got a restraining order against my dad and they have both been trying to ruin eachothers lives, like this is some game... but they are hurting others.

This does sound like one heck of a mess! You will have to return to the States one way or another. You have proof that you weren't even in the states when your Mom stole your ID. I knew a young girl here in Illinois who was told she could get her credit cleared but she had to press charges against her Mom she really didn't want to but she just had no other choice. She did and her Mom did serve a little time in the county jail and is on probation and my young friend has her name cleared.

I take it that you and your mom have the same names. And yes you can get out of it where she stole your identity and wrote checks any thing else that she has done to you. All you have to do is have the proof that you was in Switzerland while all that was going on and that should be enough. It will take some time but it can be done.
As far as you quiting college to help take care of the family, why can't your dad take care of the kids and let you get your education. He should be able to support the kids.

If at all possible you should stay in school. It won't be hard for them to nab her on the identity theft stuff. Especially if you were out of the country at the time. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. good luck.
