Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

My son is being frauded by his mother, he is 21 and lives in Florida. He was in jail in 2010 until March and came to live with me until July when he moved to Floriday to live with his grandmother. His mother was living in KS where she was using him as a dependant on her state assistance. Even though he was living with me and not being claimed. She moved to Florida shortly after he did and transfered the assitance to Florida. By the way she was doing all of this without his knowledge or consent. Soon after she arrived in Florida, she hooked up with a man and secured a line of credit at the power company using his name and social security number, again without his knowledge. The power company has now sent my son to collections/legal to regain their monies. He has not checked on his taxes, but I believe that she claimed him on her taxes last year, even though he filed himself. I am concerned with my son's future credit and legal ramifications of the fraud that is being committed against him. I would like to know what recourse he has here.

Your son needs to contact the police and file a report of his mother's illegal activity and he needs to hire a lawyer to refute the charges from FPL.
