Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My husband entered into a business contract with his brother who is now under investigation for fraud against the US Government. The brother used my husbands name in a number of contracts without his knowledge. I have now come to learn that the brother also used my name and also signed my name on a contract. I had no knowldege of this and have never agreed to any involvement in his business. Can I sue him for using my name without permission? If so how would I proceed with this. I live in Florida but the brother lives in New Mexico. Thank you for your assistance.

While your husband's brother's actions are criminal, you actually need to talk to a civil lawyer in order to sue. You should try one in Florida if that's where you live. Sometimes, they can handle the case here. However, it may be necessary to contact an attorney in New Mexico at some point.
