My friends ex husband keeps using her name on property transactions (10 Times) fraudulently, what can she do?

First off, she needs to take his non-paying lazy --- to court to get money owed. It really isn't hard to get support due through the courts nowadays, all she has to do is go to family court and file a petition. They will garnish his wages, suspend his driving privlidges, or even throw him in jail if he doesn't pay. Those option should sound inviting to her. As far as him using her name on transactions, I am finding it hard to believe that if she isn't signing any of the doents that he is being successful. Signing things prior to a closing of a transaction is one thing, but all persons on any kind of financing are required to sign final doents (like at a closing) and can't just be signed by other people, it just isn't allowed. I am a loan officer for 7 years now, and see it all the time where spouses who aren't even on the mortgage are required to attend the closing because they are going on the deed and have to bring proof of who they are and sign a ton of papers. She needs to contact an attorney about that. Maybe she can use her divorce attorney, and pursue him at the same time for money owed. Also, if her claim is valid about him using her name somehow in real estate transactions, she should go to Social Security and demand that they change her Social Security Number as she is a victim of idenity theft. Good Luck!!
