What should be done now? It is plain for the untrained eye to tell it is not his signature. Told the clerk already. Was told to tell attorney.
You may file a police report if his wife signed without his consent.
Should the filed form be denied by the clerk or sent to the judge now?
This is a time issue as he had failed a file by the deadline.
Thank you for explaining further. The clerk does not have the authority to reject the filed form. You can file a motion with the court to set aside the pleading on the basis that it was fraudulently filed without your former husband's consent and request that the court enter a default judgment
