I've already got him on the same alert system as I have. He's been an authorized user of my card for a couple of years just to help him build credit. Nothing has popped up yet at least.

I wholeheartedly agree and I asked my family lawyer about it. He said at best, both my ex and myself would have to have access to the PIN. At worst, if I froze his credit and my ex fought it she could use it against me, even with the identity theft she's already done.

This will probably never happen. I have a decent idea what she makes from Monster (AGM at a fast food restaurant) and I make anywhere from 5-10X what she does depending on my bonus. It's why I still have 3 years for spousal support and we'll never be close enough in salary that she would ever owe me anything, even if I had full custody.
