Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Fraudulent Credit Cards

My mother just found out that my

dad opened 2 credit cards in her

name. One has a $27,000 balance

and the other a $12,000. Isn't this

illegal if she never authorized these

accounts to be open. Also how would

that be handled if they were to

separate.

Re: Fraudulent Credit Cards

If the spouses routinely signed documents/papers in each others names, probably not.

It should be apportioned as your father's debt if the spouses were to separate.
