My ex-bf and I own a home together, neither one of us live in it now (besides the point). When we were living there, there was a storm and hail damage occurred. After I moved out, he claimed the hail damage and the insurance company wrote a check to cover damages and made it out to his name only. He then took the money and spent it elsewhere. After he moved out, and I found out about the hail damage on the roof, I planned to get the roof fixed. When I tried to make a claim, not knowing he already did, they told me they had already paid that claim. When I confronted him about it, he lied and said he had the roof fixed. So I demanded a receipt so that I could show the insurance company that this must be a different claim. Then he admitted to using the money elsewhere and has no receipts for repairs. Is this something I can sue him over? Is it fraud? The insurance company stated that once they write a check, he can do with it as he chooses, but shouldn't it have been made out to both of us since we are both on the homeowner's insurance policy?
