My father had been married to my mother for many years when they decided to separate. He then forged her signature on divorce papers in order to be able to marry his girlfriend and obtain U.S. citizenship for her and her children. They then decided to use my younger brother's SSN to take out a loan and to be the primary owner of a house. My brother wasn't even of legal age at that point and he recently tried to open a cell phone account but he was denied because he had "bad credit." This was the final straw, what do you suggest? What can be done? Please help.

Everything starts with a police report.

Forging someone's name is a felony (did I miss your state ?);
submitting forged/misrepresentations to a court is a felony, and
identity theft (his SON as victim) is a felony.

Go to your local police shop and make a full report; bring in all documents that support who you believe the perpetrator is (DAD); follow-up with the police to ensure that they
will do a complete investigation.

Does everyone involved agree that they will testify agin Dad, if required ?

I would recommend checking your own credit report as well....and if you have any other siblings they should do the same. Your mother also needs to check hers.

Your brother might be the legal owner of the house. He might be able to evict your father and sell it to get the mortgage off his record.
