Is this a crime?

My husband's girlfriend has signed my daughter up for a soccer league in New York State. She forged my husband's signature on the registration and insurance forms and listed her name as the step mother. She has done this in the past and continues to forge his signature. Is forgery a crime and is representing yourself as being married when your significant other is still married to someone else a crime in New York State? If it is how do I go about pursuing this matter?

My response:

Here are the New York Penal Codes regarding forgery. I would definately have her prosecuted for signing your child up for some fun ! How dare she place your child in a Soccer League !

Have her prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by filing a complaint with your local District Attorney's office ! Read the following and GO GET HER ! Make as much trouble as you can for her, your ex, and your child ! Make them tremble in fear !

You're a spiteful jerk. Perhaps this is the reason why your ex-husband has custody of your child, and not you.

Unfortunately you have no idea what is really going on. I live in the same town and have custody of my other child. I am my youngest daughter's soccer coach and continue to strive to be as acticvely involved as I can if his girlfriend and him would stop preventing my involvment. IT is really pitiful that you dont realize that they are in constant violation of the separation agreement and that what she has signed and falsified information on is a legal document. If the husband could not sign her up the agreement states that he notify me and we work together for the best interest of the children. I am not allowing my significant other step in and falsify information nor sign her up for things without his consent. By the way this was the agreement that we both agreed to and was developed by him and his lawyer. I could understand if I did not live a mile down the road and was not actively involved but I AM. Your crude and obnoxious response is uncalled for and just demonstrates your ignorance. Maybe you should take some lessons in appropriate interactions and improve your ability not to judge people without all the information.

My response:

So, then why didn't you feel that these "new facts" were important in your original post ?

Am I, or anyone here, supposed to be mindreaders ?

Keeping information away, until the last moment, is probably typical of you.

Suffice it to say, there's still nothing you can do about this matter. There's been no damages.
