Re: responsible
You may be responsible if you do not fight the issue. I would immediately suggest that you run a credit report and determine what if any other cards exsist that you did not open. Then I would get to a lawyer and let him advise me as to whether or not I should go to police. Your wife may be committing identity theft and credit card fraud.
Good Luck.
