I believe my husband (we are separated now) received our tax refund check (made out to both of us) I think he forged my signature and cashed it, about $4200.00. What would be the penelty for that? Could he be arrested? I want to nail him for this!

Anything over three hundred dollars is a felony. if you do it by mail it is mail fraud and they get real real real real mad about that. Long jail times.

Of course he could be arrested.
Just make sure the check was made out to Mr and Mrs and not Mr or Mrs. In the latter case, either one could cash it.
Was it a joint filing?
Forgery could cover a 5 to 10 year term. Being a first offence he might be able to negotiate less. The court will probably view it as an oversight and just have him return your share.
