Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio
Recently I discovered that my wife took out a new card in my name and has charged over $6,500. My questions are as follows: am I liable for the new card that is in my name? Is it my responsibility? Technically she used my identity to obtain a credit card and now I am stuck either paying or turning it into the police with charges.....right?

I am sorry to hear about your circumstances. Unfortunately, I do not practice domestic relations law or debt collection law; therefore, I am not going to be able to answer your specific questions, nor will I be representing you. I urge you to consult immediately with other lawyers regarding your potential legal rights. Your local bar association may have a lawyer referral service that can provide you with the names of some lawyers near you who handle these types of matters. In the alternative, you may want to contact the Columbus Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service (telephone number 614-221-4112; web address http://www.peoplesbar.org/findingalawyer/referral_form.php). I am sorry I cannot help you.
