Is there a way to cash a tax refund check without my ex signing the check since we are divorced and she lives in another state?

This depends on several factors. Did your tax return include a period during the year where you were not yet divorced? Was it a joint return? Is the check made payable to both you and your ex wife? If the answer to any of the above is yes, then no, you cannot cash the check without her endorsing it, too. If you forge her signature (or have someone forge it for you) and cash it, then you will be subject to serious penalty, as will anyone involved in helping forge your ex wife's name.


When do you use check?

When you want to pay someone money but do not want to carry cash and face the risk of loss or being stolen.


What happens if you write a check for something then bring it back to get a cash refund?

You will not get a cash refund. You will get your check back if it is the same day. Otherwise, the store will wait until your check has cleared the bank to make certain you have the money to buy the product. Otherwise, you will be charged for an overdrawn check and prosecuted by the company.


Why are checks void after 6 months?

Because that is the rule. If someone does not cash a check paid out to him for that long, probably he has either lost it or does not wish to cash it. So in such cases, to prevent illegal activities (like a stolen check being cashed by a fraudster) there is a validity date associated with each check. In most cases it is 90 days and in some countries it is up to 180 days.


Can you still cash a check if the maker of the check forgot to sign his name in the front of the check?

No, you cannot cash an unsigned check.

Why is sending a check through the mail batter then sending cash?

If you send a check in the mail as payment, you have a paper trail that shows that you paid the amount and that the entity cashed it at the bank. If your mail is stolen, cash is easily converted to what a thief would want and does not leave a trail of behavior. A mailed check requires more steps required to change it into cash that may cause him to be apprehended.
