Chicago, IL asked in Divorce, Family Law, Child Custody and Identity Theft for Ohio

Q: My wife of 10 years with 2 kids cheated on me and had a fake pregnancy. She had her tubes tied after my youngest, used

ultrasounds of my children and a baby picture of my friends baby, the "baby" wasn't going to survive or go home. We have confronted her and everyone knows the truth, she used fake phone numbers to pretend to be me and my friends to him. I want to get a divorce and for her to get the mental help she needs, she is using an online therapist and counselor. She has written multiple bad checks, 2 of which to me caused my ban to close my accounts for fraud. This has made it so I cannot open a new account with any banks. My friends all plan to charge her with identity theft, I don't want my kids taken from me so I need to make sure the steps I take are the right ones. She also just confirmed that she really is pregnant with his child.
