Sorry, DH has signed 2 peoples name on a piece of paper which has caused problems for DH family and mine. DH has admited to the police and has told a solicitor. Thats the short story.

You have said you have told a solicitor. Surely their advice will be better than you get from a forum?

The OP & her DH are obviously very worried - I think to be fair, when its daft o'clock in the morning and the solicitor isnt available they are getting quite good advice here!!! (From most anyway!)

So when DH attends to the police station does he say nothing or does he call a solicitor? Do you know how long the process takes? What if no one presses charges what will happen?

Sorry to ask but i dont know the legal system neither does DH.

Many Thanks for the reply it has helped

The Custody sergeant will contact the Duty Solicitor on DH's behalf. They won't ask him any questions until the solicitor arrives and the interview is recorded in the correct manner.

When you talk about a solicitor (above) I assume that you mean the solicitor who dealt with the fraudulent form and who contacted the police before or after your DH made his admission. A Duty Solicitor is an expert on the criminal law and custody procedures and no-one should ever go without the benefit of free legal advice and assistance at a police station.

I can't tell you how long it will take. If the police have a statement from a complainant and have already started the ball rolling, then it will take anything between 2 and 8 hours.

There will be a lot of waiting around. He's entitled to one phone call, at any time, plenty of breaks, drinks and food - and will be told about what his rights are as soon as he arrives.

A good tip is to save the phonecall until he's about to leave - he can phone you then and tell you he's on his way home. He can call the Investigating Officer to the phone so that the officer can explain what's happening to you directly and you can ask questions (because your DH may be confused).

Another piece of advice. DH should try to curb the desire to beat himself up and declare to anyone who will listen to him that he's as guilty as anything and knows that he was doing wrong. Tell him to calm down and not volunteer such things - he should simply answer questions about the FACTS as he knows them.

I don't have enough information to tell you whether he will be charged or not and I don't know enough facts to say what possible charges he may face (if any). Most crimes need a victim or complainant but the crime of conspiracy is different - Her Majesty the Queen is the complainant! I'm not saying that the offence of conspiracy has been committed - I don't know and can't say, I'm just answering one of your questions (above)

I think you've missed my post a page or two back about what to say to the Custody Sergeant. It might be worth a quick read.

Does that help?

Sorry, I'm sure its probably me but I can't understand who has done what.

This is how I read the situation

Property is owned by 2 sisters. 1 sister (Mother of OP) wants to raise money on the property but has to get the other sisters permission. She has obtained the form and has had the OPs husband forge her sisters signature and also has signed the form in his own name as a witness to the signing of the document.

OPs DH has mental health problems and also was under intimidation from his MIL to do as she asked.

Help me please - Kay Peel has given you a lot of excellent advice on procedures.

I would print out her advice so that you can read these through with your DH.

Op is using his mental health as an excuse.

......i didnt know what the form was as i am mental unstable

I signed a document with 2 peoples signatures which i know is wrong but i keep having nervous breakdowns.

Nervous breakdowns don't stop people knowing right from wrong ....particularly when it come to signing something as another person.:mad:

As far as i am concerned DH has spilled the beans to:

His solicitor,
My aunts solicitor
The Police
Me
His family.

He knows he has done wrong. He is trying his best to get this issue sorted out. IMHO he has told everyone what has happened and is trying to sort this huge mess out.

He does have mental health issues, and he has had a mental breakdown thats why all this has come out.

sorry but where it looks to me he is furiously trying to back pedal to stop himself getting caught up in it and get out of it.

DH knew exactly what he was doing, god even my 10 year old knows its bad to claim to be someone else.
For a man who according to yourself and your husband didnt know what he was doing, when sh*te hit the fan , he knew exactly what to do. If he had mental health probs then and didnt know what he was doing and then a mental breakdown i think this would be the time he would not be coherent in his thinking, but now he seems to be very cvlear now
