Re: credit card misuse
If they are NOT still legally married, then he could file a police report as a victim of identity theft. Of course, the police may arrest her and that will create all sorts of problems [especially if they have children]
If they are still legally married, then I suggest that the husband consider filing a bankruptcy to eliminate the debt. If he does not qualify for a chapter 7, at least a chapter 13 will stop the late fees and crazy interest.
Either way, it is a no-win situation for him.
