Can I sue my soon to be ex-spouse for identity theft?


Over the last few weeks I have been having problems with my wife, we began living apart and were talking about beginning divorce proceedings. She asked me for a payoff which I agreed to but didnt sign anything for. When we lived together I had a keylogger on my computer, I found out that she had recently opened an email account in my name and had tried to open various accounts under my name to buy stuff with. Lucky I managed to shut them down real fast. She did this while I was at work, I have the evidence via the keylogger. Is this evidence admissible in a divorce proceeding? Can I take criminal action against her for this?

It depends on which state you live in, but in most you cannot do anything as it is considered common-law property. Call your local authorities (police department) and they will be better able to advise regarding laws in your state. If they say it is admissible, contact an attorney or file pro-se.

was everything in your name? because if not you can't. the thing is that since you are currently married the phrase "whats mine is yours" comes to mind

most likely yes
