My husband and I have been seperated since June of 2007 and has fought divorcing me and sharing custody of our three children since then. In March of this year and after repeadedly telling him I would not "give" him the entire tax refund and stimulous check, we both wrote emails agreeing to share and split evenly our tax refund and stimulous check from the IRS. We filed jointly under his address, etc. and the refund check was deposited in to his account and he wrote me a check for half. For months now, I have been asking him where the stimulous check is and he repeadedly tells me he hasn't received it. I just found out today from the IRS that the check was cashed a long time ago after getting mailed on 6/27/08 and they are mailing me copies of the date it was cashed and front and back of the check to see the forge of my signature.
I want to know what laws he has broken, the penalties or punishments that come with it, and what rights I have to, #1 get my half of the money and #2 press charges for forging my name on the check, breaking his written agreement, etc.
Please keep in mind that this man makes more than 4 times the amount at his job than I do and refuses to pay anything for his kids while I live in poverty and have to receive public assistance in order to survive - no lunch money, not one pencil for school supplies, cancels dr. appts and reschedules them when the kids are with me to avoid co-pays, etc. Has time for dating, drinking, golfing, buying cars and $800 pure bred dogs though...
Thank you so much for any help I can get.
