This answer will vary from state to state because of the penal systems but here is a stock answer.
In order to apply for credit the person whose name appears as the account holder whether it is a credit card, car loan, personal loan or even a bank account that person must sign the credit application accepting the terms and in most cases swearing that the information given is true and accurate as well as authorizing the creditor to do a credit investigation.
For a spouse to open an account without the other spouses knowlege or consent is a crime similar in character to that of identity theft or credit card fraud because they would have to fraudulently sign the other spouses name to the application.
This is most common abuse is on credit card applications because the persons receiving the information from the applicant is not in front of them and they have no idea if the person whose name appears signed it or not.
If your spouse did indeed sign your name to a credit application for the purpose of defrauding the credit card company that is a felony and in some states could have other related charges attached.
If your spouse or ex-spouse did this you should contact the credit card company immediatly and request them to send a copy of the completed and signed credit application and inform them that you did not sign the application.
Hope that was helpful.
Ah, there is an exception to that if the spouse has a power of attorney over the financial affairs of the other spouse or parent which authorizes them to solicit credit on their behalf.
