my ex - husband when we divorced agreed to sell our house once the kids had grown up and moved out. both our names remained on the title.
he has currently forged my name on the deed.. had a friend notarize it, and then aquired a home equity loan for $64000.00.
we have gone to court,,sued the notary,,and he basically has admitted guilt and the home has been placed under my responsibility to sell and then split the sale price with the bank with whom the equity loan was obtained.
my lawyer has told me he has spoken with the da office about criminal charges and he said they are unwilling to pursue this because the worst my ex would get would be probation..
the bank refuses to put any more money into this... ex caused alot of damage to the home before moving out.. so now i will not be able to sell the home for anywhere near what it is worth.. maybe $75,000.. is what ive been told... before all this..it was appraised at $145,000. bottom line is... he comes out smelling like a rose.. with the $64,000,,, a bad credit report.. and a judgement against him... big deal... what else can be done?

Hi ibcguy,
Your ex-husband has scammed you and forged your signatures on the property deed. It is your attorney who will be able to let you know what actions you can take against him. You can contact another attorney and check if you can file any other kind of lawsuit against him.
Thanks

I can't imagine that there's much more punishment you can give unless you take the law into your own hands, and that's a treacherous and foolish thing to do anyway.
Why not just move past him and move on, instead of holding a grudge that does you more harm than it does him? Honestly, harboring ill feelings isn't going to benefit you, and if he's as mean-spirited as we might all think, he'd likely enjoy knowing that you're stewing about the situation while he chills wherever he's headed.
