disillusion papers

[MAS]

What is the name of your state? OH
My husband wants me to sign disillusion papers that he is drawing up. I want custody of our 2 kids, so does he. Our checking account is in his name only, however I am the one who sends out all bills and writes the majority of the checks. He told me that if I don't sign the disillusion papers than he will call the police and report me for writing checks from his account. If I am the one in the household in charge of paying bills, buying groceries, etc. can I get in trouble for this?

yes you can get onto trouble. Only the person(s) on the account can sign the check.

Shhhh. Step away from the wrong legal advice and be quiet. Okay? Then sit back and learn.

Really? he is an attorney? If he calls them disillusion papers they will never be approved by the courts. (Oh and for some people the marriage license is the first disillusion paper they ever see and/or sign.)

I want custody of our 2 kids, so does he.

Ohio has a presumption of joint custody.

Whose name do you sign? Yours or his?

He told me that if I don't sign the disillusion papers than he will call the police and report me for writing checks from his account.

Okay. Let him. It won't go anywhere.

He may not be happy but since you were acting on his authority... no. He could try to cause you trouble but....
Look at the following case law:
Chester Twp. Bd. of Trustees v. Bank One, N.A., 2007-Ohio-3365
Jurcisin v. Fifth Third Bank, 139 Ohio Misc.2d 1, 2006-Ohio-5291

Also see the following laws:

He knew what you were doing, he gave you his authority to pay the bills. How long were you married? When did you start writing checks to pay the bills? How did this defraud him?
State v. Curtis, 2006-Ohio-3724


Oh and get yourself an attorney through legal aid if nothing else and do not SIGN ANYTHING he gives you.

Outstanding Ohiogal, especially [for some people the marriage license is the first disillusion paper they ever see and/or sign].

No he isn't an attorney.

We have been married 14.5 years.

I have been signing his name to pay our bills since before we were married.

So his reasoning won't fly. GET AN ATTORNEY. And also ask for alimony.
