wife creating credit card debt for family's benifit husband wants to charge with fraud.:
My husband and I have been married for 3 years, been living together for 5, with 3 children who are 4, 2 and 8 months. I have been a stay at home mom, where ,my husband has been the sole provider for our family. He has never added me to his checking account or given me any way to pay for anything. The problem: I was added to two of his credit cards and he knew i was using them to by household needs, but there are many more cards that i opened in both of our names with his income. He claims he never knew about them but he did know that i was using them...he just did not know the extent. I can prove he knew because i was paying the payment on the card from his checking account online. So now all cards and balances have came out in the open because he has been sued since we could not afford to pay on all of them, he now wants to charge me with fraud and in addition to the credit cards, he also wants to add on all the checks that i had signed his name on for the past 4 years, that he had given me permission to sign. 98% being spent or written for food for our household at grocrey store or for bills. I will say that i did use the credit cards more than he thought we were and i did open 3 cards with out his knowledge. What can i do or what can he do with charging me with fraud in Oregon, or how can i claim this debt to be mine...or what? Will this even stand considering i had no way to purchase household means for our family? In addition i have no history of any criminal activity. We are around $60,000 in debt, own our house that has very little equity and are financing one car that has 0 equity.

Although I am not an Oregon practitioner of the criminal law of that state, I see no basis for any criminal nor even civil charges (including fraud) based upon the scenario which you've described.

Note that I am not licensed to practice in your state.
I agree that according to your description, he has no case for fraud. However, that does not mean he cannot still file a police report for identity theft and fraud and make your life a living hell. I think it might be time to speak with a divorce attorney. ginabina224

I have this same EXACT, i mean EXACT situation in my house right now. He knew about these cards, does not give me money, but he wants the best of everything. name brand this name brand that. he pays the bills i do not. he put fraund protection on his credit file. keeps telling me that he should send my behind to jail. he always has this poor ol me attitude on the phone when he talks to creditors. he claims, oh my wife did this without my knowledge. oh please, he just does not want to pay the bills.
good luck and worry about your kids, as far as i am concerned let him be on his own and then see how he likes it. Makes my skin crawl when i hear stories about this. cbsblackfoot

i had this exact thing happen to me with my husband of 13 years. he did go to the police and i was charged with identity theft. i still live with him here in oregon, i served 2 years on probation and had a huge fine to pay back, which was taken from my share of the bills. i think my husband hated the fact that i had to use my money to pay this off which in turn led to him paying more than his share of the bills.
