Just found out that my ex husband had someone to forge my signature on a quitclaim deed in order to sell a property we had together, this happened in 2002, can i still persue him with charges??

When a quit claim is signed you must have proof of your idenity...So how did he manage to forge your name?? And why are you just now finding this out?

I believe he had his mistress then, his wife now, with a fake i.d. and signed it, or the public notary was in it too, don´t know for sure how he did it, the only thing i´m sure,is that i never signed it, and i just found out, because i had a terrible situacion of domestic violence and took my kids and moved to Mexico, and he kept lying about the house, and i was too afraid confront him.

Contact the police immediately. They will (hopefully) be able to give some direction as to who to report this to (the agency of jurisdiction will likely be the location where this deed was passed as being valid).

The problem you will have will be the time that has passed. You might have to show that you could not have reasonably known about the sale of the property until now. But, if you accepted payment or a share of the property before this, that argument will be hard to make.

Depending on the amount of money involved, it may be of benefit for you to speak to an attorney as well.
