In order to cash the check it will need to be endorsed. If you endorse the check with his name it will be forgery unless you have a power of attorney he has signed authorizing you to do so.
I suggest you talk with an attorney concerning the circumstances of your particular case.

Somehow I get this feeling that you are not going to be legally married for long. Somebody, somewhere is going to get in trouble for a forged endorsement. The criminal penalty for forgery is felony convictionand up to 10 years in prison. First offenders sometimes get probation. Good Luck.
