can I get in trouble if I dont report check forgery committed by my husband?

Question

We have seperate accounts and have been seperated for over a year. I dont want to have to report it to the police, but if it comes out somehow that it happened I dont want jail time because of him. he did it if anyone should suffer it should be him.. please help

he is forging my signature on checks from my bank account to himself and other people without my permission

between checks and unauthorized debit card purchases the amount was over $20,000

Answer 1

YES!! Every check is a legal doccument. It is an agreement to pay between the person who owns the acct and the person to whom he(she) is authorizing the funds to be released.

What he is doing is illegal. Stop him now!!! Forgery is a serious crime.

If he's forging your signature then he is stealing from you. You wouldn't let a stranger get away with it! Why let your (soon to be) ex?!!

Again, I say stop him! You deserve more respect and care than that. And it won't be you getting the jail time. It will be him. He is commiting the crime. You, the victim, need to report that crime to the authorities.

Answer 2

LMAO!

You don't want to report a man that is willing to risk your going to jail for his folly.

You think separated checking accounts will keep you insulated from his trangressions both legally and spiritually? The very way you wrote the e-mail clearly shows that there is a bond between you and your ex-husband.

If he swore to get his life back together and stop forging, you would probably let him RIGHT BACK into your life to add strife, chaos, and confusion.

Think about that for a few minutes. How long do you plan on "pooh-pooh"ing his bad character?

You could also use the materiality argument. Throwing your ex-husband into jail for something as small as $200 might be a bit overboard.

However, $20,000 makes him . . . hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

a CLASS B felon.

Sister girl, please do not stay cocooned in your false reality. If you care for yourself like you suggest you do, then you need to remove all toxic sources from your life.

This includes your felonious husband who honestly doesn't have your best interests at heart. He is on an all-you-can-buy shopping spree of carnality and selfishness and arrogance.

He doesn't believe you have the courage and self-respect to turn his trifling a$% in to the authorities! Remember, he THINKS he knows you better than you know yourself. But the irony is . . . you don't know your husband. . .which is why it should be easier to turn him in.

He is NOT the man that you fell in love with -- he is a relative stranger who has absconded with your dignity and your identity.

So what's it gonna be?

Answer 3

If you don't report it, no you will not get into any trouble.

But you should report it. He is committing fraud by forging your signature and stealing from you. If you do report this you still will not get into any trouble, only your rat husband.

Answer 4

i have tracked you IP address ...and i am going to have you arrested...

...lol...j/k....plead ignorance...is a good way to stay safe...but a judge would only buy that for a couple random small amounts.....

..anything large ....you would surely know about it.....

..bottom line is ....if you do not see it as a crime.....either does the law....there is no one else to test the accuracy of the documents...but you.

GET A NEW BANK ACCOUNT...and solve the problem quietly!!!

good luck =o)

Answer 5

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT.


"Aid and abet" means helping someone evade the law or break the law even though you, yourself are not breaking the law in any other way. KNOWING WHAT HE IS DOING CAN GET YOU SLAPPED WITH DEEP TROUBLE BY THE LAW...

Answer 6

call the cops and notify your bank close the account

Answer 7

morally yes. legally, you can always plead ignorance.
