Re: my husband forged a check
call the issuing bank, your bank, and the police to report the fraud
Re: my husband forged a check
If both of your names were on the $500.00 insurance check, then your husband arguably was entitled to 1/2 of the money, even if the insurance company or bank reimburses you the $500 due to the forgery.
Another way to proceed might be to sue your husband for spousal support in Family Court, on the grounds that your present financial circumstance places you in the position of becoming a "public charge;" AND, you have a need for his support and he (presumably, if he's working) has the ability to pay.
