    Default Forgery Check - Ex Girlfriend Cashes Check After 9 Months

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.

    Ok let me start off by giving some details;

    When me and my GF (girlfriend) were together she gave me some of her money to hold in my bank account so ''she wouldn't spend it''. We broke up in October of '07. I gave her a check signed for $500 which I still owed her from the money she had given me. However, I told her not to cash it, instead, I was gonna have my friend give her the $500 from some money that he owed me. So I thot that maybe she would disregard the check. Dumb me I didn't asked for the check back. 9 months later, we had an argument, and out of the blue she cashes the check I gave her 9 months prior. The bank reimburse the money back to my account. My question is, do I have any growns to press charges against her for this?

    Any info will be helpful. Thanks in advance!!

    Sorry, bud, that's not forgery! That's cashing a check that you were asked not to cash. What you should have done was ay the $5 or $10 to the bank and place a stop payment on the check OR get the check back at the time of discussion.


    Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.

    At the least you should have had the friend that owed you the money pay you and resolve his debt. From that you should have paid her.

    ...and, honestly, that was her money to begin with and you should have just paid her outright.
