A: If someone else signed a divorce petition in your name, this is a serious matter that needs immediate attention. You should gather any evidence that proves you were not present or did not consent to the signing. This could include travel records, receipts, or witness statements.

Next, contact a lawyer experienced in family law. They can guide you through the process of contesting the fraudulent filing and advise you on the steps to take to protect your rights. This might include filing a legal challenge to the divorce decree or taking steps to address the identity fraud.
