Your Credit History
I suggest that all of my clients in divorce cases check their credit reports. Many of them are surprised at how easy it is for an estranged spouse to obtain credit in their name without their knowledge. As of June 1, 2005, Alabama residents can get a free copy of their credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com. With the rise of identity theft, even if you are not going through a divorce it is always a good idea to keep tabs on your report.
On a separate, but related note, if you are interested in opting out of recieving unsolicted credit card offers you can do so at www.optoutprescreen.com. I recently did, and I look forward to cutting down on the junk mail I receive at the house as a result.
