A few months ago a credit card was taken out in my name. I just found out it was my spouse that opened the account.

A few months ago a credit card was taken out in my name and was used to withdraw about $300 cash. I just found out it was my spouse that opened the account. Can she be prosecuted? Can I press charges against her?

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

Yes and yes. She has clearly defrauded you and stolen your identity. It does not matter whether she is your spouse or not, you can press charges. The real question, is that what you want to do? This could make things ugly in a divorce that may occur afterwards, talk to her and figure things out before you start spending a fortune on lawyers.

Speeding Ticket KC

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
