Re: Civil and Criminal and Family Law
Signing a false loan application is criminal: federal and state, so criminal prosecution is one consequence. That spouse is also subject to civil suit for fraud, etc. by any damaged parties: the banks, etc. Concerning the spouse, the misdealing-spouse has certainly breached his/her fiduciary duty to the other spouse, which means they will be held accountable and are subject to penalties. There's a lot going on here.
