Can you void someone's check w/o their permish?
      #458771 - 10/07/08 08:59 AM

It's been a volitile few days here - the only way X communicates with me is screaming at me on the phone then hanging up - otherwise the lack of communication is annoying as well.

It's this lack of communication that has me asking the above question. Without warning, without explanation, without permission, X voided my check that was to pay for my children's class portrait cancelling my order. He put in an order of his own instead.

Can he legally do that? I mean, all I gotta do is go into the school, get a new order form and all is well. Is this worth doing anything over besides an attempt to prevent future crap?

You didn't give the most relevant and necessary info. Was this a JOINT checking account? If that's the case, he didn't void "your" check. If its not joint, how did he manage to void it? It could be considered criminal depending on what actually happened. Even if its joint and he has the legal rights to do this, its petty. Those kinds of childish activities are going to grate on the judge's nerves and won't look good on him if he keeps it up.

Did he "void" it or put a "stop pay" on it? What a jerk. Make sure that you're documenting all of these things. It proves that he's hostile, uncooperative, unable to coparent without damaging the kids, and just plain ridiculous.

Good luck!

It's not crimminal in the least. He is under no obligation to put an order in for you too.

Just go and put your own order in.

I would avoid him atogether and just send your own order form to the school before picture day. What im thinking is that your saying you sent a filled out order form to his house with a check included and he took out your check and sent his own order instead?? If so, Its a jerky thing to do, but something that you can move on from. Just chalk it up as a learning experience. There are a couple of remedies --Take your child to jc penny or somewhere and get your own pictures taken. Call the school and see if there are retakes and see if your can order some then (our school does that). Call the studio and see if you can order more ( our school does that as well).

A book called "Child custody with a Jerk really helped me with stuff like this.

The account is my own personal checking account. We live in separate houses. The newest court order divides our expenses as the responsibility of only the party who owns the expense - meaning daily finances are totally severed.

I filled out my own order form. I wrote my own check to cover the expense. I sent the order form in my child's backpack for him to give to the teacher. My child stayed home sick from school so the order form was still in his backpack when my child went to his dad's for visitation. When my child returned to me 2 days later, the check with his hand-written word "VOID" across the front was in a plain envelope. In my child's bag was a new photo order form that my X had filled out with only his order.

I went to the school, got a new order form, wrote a new check and solved the problem. No big deal.

I'm not even that upset. Just dumbfounded.

I do think that if he did that to a total stranger there may be legal action, but this just seems too petty for me to pursue. I just want to know if I should pursue any action and if so, what?

The person who posted that somehow thinks that all woman on this site are "Kf"s (known femin azis, his words) whose only joy in life is hijacking peoples' posts in order to promote their own personal agendas. If you don't hang out in the other threads very often, you've been spared from his insults. He is one person who logs in under multiple handles (XXFather, XXPadre, misc. superhero/villain names) doing the very thing he accuses others of. He is an extreme radical men's rights activist. He follows certain posters around and leaves these little messages full of acronyms and insults. "AWP" means attacks without provication. And as you can see from AlmostHeaven's post, that is hardly the case.

Most people here truly have a heart to help other people through tough times. You can put the other guy on "ignore."
