Legal Question in Family Law in Canada

Soon to be EX-commits forgery

We are about to be divorced and a house is being built to be sold. Both are names are on the property and the morgage. My husband received a draw cheque, written to both of us, which I was supposed to sign, before it was deposited. Some of the money was to be paid to me for work I had done on the home. To avoid paying me, he forged my name on the cheque and deposited into his personal account. Is this a criminal act? Do I have legal recourse? Thank you.....

Re: Soon to be EX-commits forgery

You should report the forgery to the police and to the bank immediately. You should also inform your family law lawyer immediately so that he/she may take action to prevent your husband from committing any more acts that may adversely affect our assets.
