My question involves a marriage in the state of: Louisiana
Could I get in trouble if I signed his paychecks to put them in our joint account while we were married?

When did this happen? Why didn't he sign and deposit the checks himself? If he disapproved of your conduct, what did he do afterward?
Nothing he told me to and this was atleast 3 years before we separated.. he would forget and call me and tell me to just sign it and deposit them..
Generally speaking though what you did is illegal, it is very unlikely a prosecutor would be willing to be a pawn used for his personal revenge.
Thank you
Also, Louisiana is a community property state so that makes it even less likely that something like that would ever be prosecuted.
Might I suggest you look at the correct crime?
