Re: Identity Theft/Unauthorized Computer Access
It is not particularly likely that charges would be filed between spouses. THere is an inferred permission to use accounts and it would be difficult to demonstrate that such access was not allowed. Moreover, there is an adequate civil remedy in divorce or legal separation.
