    Default Wife Forged Checks and Stole Credit Card

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY

    Background :
    I'm going to try to keep this brief unless asked specifics. March 2017 my wife was busted having an affair . She left that day and moved in with the boyfriend . we were married 13 years , together 20. We went to mediation and neither of us had a lawyer . She signed away everything to me . We did not have much but this included most importantly my pensions . Also a family car which had no equity , the house with basically no equity and all my belongings , she took hers . We have 3 children who I then became the residential / phyiscal custody parent . She got visitation . I asked for no child support but 30% of school/medical expensis . She got no spousal maintinence . By May of 2017 our divorce was granted by the supreme court .

    Since that time , 5 months after the finalized divorce , she has changed her mind and I've been enduring a custody battle about to goto trial(family court) . She has retained a very good lawyer and I'm pro se . I have though , consulted with attorneys . But I have filed my motions and answers pro se . Her lawyer is also threatening to file with supreme court to reverse the order of divorce claiming its unconsenable . I have yet to be served with anything from supreme court and it may be a bluff . I then filed for child support which is a seperate matter of custody in NYS . We have one more attempt through court coming soon to mediate/settle custody and if not my next date is a pre trial conference where I will subpeona witnesses .

    I give her the children above and beyond her visitation acess . Its my belief she is trying to get visitation close to 50/50 to become split phyiscal custody and as I make alot more than her , could be liable to pay her child support . I'm sick of court , its emotionally draining and consuming alot of time . I feel like im studing for the Barr exam . I now give her every other weekend and 2 days during week for 3 hours . I just want to co-parent and move on with my life but she has other intentions .

    My Question :

    She forged checks and stole my credit card while married. My saving and checking account is how we paid bills . I was the only person to contribute to the account and It was in my sole name . At some point she started handling the bills and I did give her acsess to the account . I believe that made it a joint account . BUT , for 6 months before she left she began writing checks to herself and forging my name on the checks .It totaled under 5k . She never produced her bank statements in mediation and I did not push for them .

    She stole my credit card numbers (card in my name only) . She was buying things online almost daily and having them shipped to a different adress (her mothers vacant home). Thousands of dollars stolen , I obviously got new card numbers when I found out . I never persued any type of charges . I was happy to be devorcied and happy with my outcome .

    I'd love to use this as a tool to stop litigation . My research shows statute of limitations of 5 years on this type of fraud so I'm within the time line . I believe I have enough evidence to prove it was fraud , the fact that she signed my name and could have easly just signed her own on the checks . and the fact that the purchases were hidden and shipped to another adress .

    Basic question , is this fraud ?

    If you didn’t report this upon discovery it will be seen as permissive use and ignored.

    If she was doing as you say she was. Why did you give her access to your account ? It makes no sense.
