Re: forgery
One answer is, maybe. There are too many unknown facts to be able to answer the question better. Even if you are liable for the check in a civil suit, it doesn't change the fact she committed a crime. You should look into that issue since doing nothing about it could be construed against you, and may even appear as if you were complicit.
