A: If your ex created promissory notes from 2008 and notarized them in 2021 without your knowledge or consent, it may constitute fraud or forgery under California law. You may use the relevant provisions of the California Penal Code, such as Sections 470 and 530.5, to address the issue of fraudulent documents in court and challenge their validity as evidence in the joint case regarding the property asset.
