I'm divorced from my ex 5 years. He was in a work accident that left him with severe back issues. He had to retire and his income became a monthly disability cheque. Unfortunately he became a reclusive couch potato who drank often. He also became verbally abusive, so I left him. I have an excellent paying job with great health benefits so when negotiating the terms of our divorce, which was pretty air tight for me because I insisted on us having a prenup which protected my income and he his,
The one thing we had to discuss was my health benefits. He had none and I had an excellent policy. So the deal was I would continue to carry him for no more than 3 years. Simple done and over with. This is where it gets sticky. He filed a claim to the insurance company for reimbursement of the out of pocket expense to him for his eye exam. The normal practise was he had blank claims forms that I only put my signature on and my address and of course I'D numbers, he would fill out the actual claims portion and then send it in with receipts. If it was a good claim the insurance company processed it, it would get mailed directly to me and I would then cash it and then give to him. It was fair and I didn't mind
Today I found out that he received a check at HIS house from one of his claims being filed and approved. Turns out he put his address where my address should go because I am the member, not him! He know it's wrong because we did it the same way every time and it included him putting my address on it.
To flu this up for you he took at cheque addressed to me, and somehow was able to cash that check that I didn't endorse and which had my name on it, not his!
It's being investigated by my insurance company as they say it's fraud, no matter if the funds were technically his or not. He cashed a check that was not his and possibly forged my signature. What should I do legally. I've had it with his antics. I'm so mad I want him charged!
Anyone else here ever have a check forged or any other criminal behaviour?
