You can't make this stuff up...

DH received a call on Friday from a local merchant stating that a check with his name on it had been returned because the account had been closed. Apparently BM wrote a check for alcohol from a joint account they had when they were married!! BM has "no recollection" of writing such check......ugh!

Who does this stuff????

People who consume too much alcohol, lapsing in and out of lucidity, do this kind of stuff. 

I hope he holds her responsible for this, because this is crazy.

He is trying to hold her responsible, apparently the amount of the original check is not enough for law enforcement to get involved. We are not sure of his options at this point. 

Her lack of recollection is an excuse, although I totally agree with your above response.

If she presented the check to the store... then she is responsible.  It is irrelevant that his name is also on the account because the account was legally closed.  The bank won't pay since the account was closed so the store is on the hook.  They cannot go against your DH because he didn't write the check to them... when the account was closed.. that should be it.  If he wants he can provide his EXes information if he has it.
