The wife left 01/2004. I filed for divorce 11/2005 after she had my mailing address changed: she knew it was time for car insurance renewal; I didn't get the bill and the policy I've held since 1981 was dropped for non-payment of premium. My attorney says forget it. I thought I had the address mess straightened out. Nope. I'm due a substantial refund from the IRS for 2004 (yeah, it was delayed, but that's been resolved). The refund was mailed to her address in a different city (she's done the address change, in my name, again).
Question: What can I do about her changing my address? Bills and whatever go to her address in a different city; I'm late with payments, which results in credit record dings, etc.
Question: What do I do about my fed tax refund? It's made out to me (I filed separately for '04). I know she'll forge my sig and cash it.
I'm tired of hearing "forget it" and "there's nothing we can do".
Mail Fraudan and Forgery are both potential felony offenses. You need to hire a new lawyer and report the one you have now to the State Bar, as an officer of the court he is derelict in his duty if he advised you not to pursue such serious offenses.
