Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

My estranged wife filed a change of information form with the bank on our mortgage. She had been listed as co-borrower and I as primary borrower. The form she signed reversed this and she, obviously, forged my signature on the document (I obtained a copy of it) as both our signatures were required as stated on the form. Can I have her prosecuted for forgery, bank fraud, identity theft, misrepresentation or anything?

Making a false statement on a bank loan application or mortgage application is, indeed, a federal crime and it has significant criminal implications. I would contact the US attorney's office and see if they're interested in it. Make sure you tell them how much money was involved.
