Re: credit card fraud
You say soon to be ex-wife does this mean that you have a marriage dissolution settlement drafted already? If this is your personal credit card and she is not an authorized user then yes one could say the use is illegal. If you are looking for a court or the police to jump in I doubt that will happen with only one use. I would however make sure she liable for the charge in the divorce settlement.
