I received a felony charge about 10years ago. I took my ex husbands fall. He owned his own company. He had 3 kids we had full custody off. Somehow in his divorce a credit card in his exes name was still being used and she justifiably had enough off the crap she was being put through custody wise and found that card was still in existence. Her and I have the exact same initials. He told me he could lose his kids and I wouldn’t get more than a slap on the hand because I was in the middle of chemo. So I took the fall. With the prosecutor even saying there’s know way she had any part of this. So I got the felony charge, zero jail time and let off probation extremely fast. Fast forward ten years. I divorced him and I’m finally healthy enough to venture out into the work force. I actually have to find a job that my body can handle or I’ll have not even a loaf of bread. Where do I start? What companies truly overlook or don’t even ask? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
