Is it possible to sue an ex for using a credit card without permission?

And I disagree with you, giving the OP the card to pay one bill did not give her the green light to max it out, a civil case would have an excellent chance of winning.

Can I just ask on what your argument is based on?
He will say he authorised one payment (but read my previous post)
She will say he said nothing just use the card when you want - can any one of them prove what they are saying?

I would suggest no unless OP has not posted some material information.

If you can quote a piece of legislation I have missed I will change my opinion.

Court hearing is not always about pieces of legislation.
Pretty often it just about some common sense - when there is no sufficient evidence.

Giving the card details to ANYONE else for ANY purchase has breached the terms and conditions of the credit card agreement.

It's a complete non starter.

Common sense yes, but not pure guesswork. For all the judge knows, the OP did let their ex-wife use the card for whatever she wanted. She is still looking after his child after all.

The CC T&C have nothing to do with this.
It's about two former family members, not about the CC company.

How do we know this was the case?

The card holder hasn't posted here, all we've heard is hearsay by the (new) wife (who might not have been on the scene when the card transaction happened). Facts are, card holder gave permission to use the card and withdrew his permission some 18 months later. For all we know, the card holder might have told the new Missus a bunch of porkies to get her off his case.

Without a written agreement, a court case has a snowball's chance in hell.
