My estranged was involved in a check fraud scheme about one year after we separated. I was unaware of any of this and hadn't been in contact with her for most of that year. She was subsequently tried and convicted of the crimes and did some time. Now, the one bank that did not press charges is coming after me! I have been told I cannot be held liable for anything my spouse has done while in the act of committing a crime. Is this true? I am getting a lawyer and hopefully will be wrapping this whole bloody mess up. |
