Re: not sure of charges

Statute of Limitations for a misdemeanor is 3 years, for a felony 5. You appear to be within the time frame.

The money belongs to the person who posted it. He can give you permission to sign it. I doubt he will get a lot of sympathy from police.

You should speak to a matrimonial lawyer about the matrimonial issues herein. If you are contacted by police do not say anything. ANYTHING beyond giving your name and address. Then tell them you have/want a lawyer. Better yet, set up a meeting with a criminal lawyer now and have him ready should police come knocking.

If you wish to contact me, give me a call or follow the links below.

Good luck.
