Re: forging checks

Might be a good idea to get a new account. Also he should report this activity to his bank (he may be able to get some of his money back) and he should notify the police.

Re: forging checks

Your soon to be husband should be the one asking the question. Once he calls the police, he can't go back and ask for a do-over saying he's changed his mind and doesn't want to prosecute.

Before he notifies the bank, maybe he should ask his ex and her daughter for the money back. The bank will call the cops.

Just realize these are felonies and likely to make these thievin' women unemployable for life. If that's what he wants, that's what'll happen.

He also better make damn sure his hands are clean before he blows the whistle. Hell hath no fury like an ex-wife scorned.
