Chances are the Statue of Limitations has run out on a forgery crime committed 8 years ago. Check with the State Attorney's office.

Well it sounds like you gave her the authority to handle the finances. Didn't you wonder where your checks were? What you're saying makes no sense to me. What did you think was happening with the money? How did you not know you had money coming in? I doubt you'd get much action eight years later unless you're talking about large quantities of money.

I'm totally confused by your categorization of "my son's mother". Aren't you your son's mother? Your profile states you're caring for your husband. Is this your step-son?

If fraud was committed, the statute of limitations may also run from the time of discovery rather than from the time of commission, but I'm not up to date on fraud statutes. I believe it would depend on what type of crime would be chargeable (fraud over a certain amount, for example), but suspect that it would depend on whether it was fraud or some other type of forgery, as well as what authority you granted her to manage your checking account.

Did you see the Dolly Parton show, an old special set to music about the coat of many colors?
