My ex-husband and his family are telling others that I am dead. What can I do to stop them?
When asked for parental contact information regarding my 2 daughters my ex-husband and his family are telling the people that I am dead. I found out when my 17 year old was pre-registering for minor surgery at a local hospital. She gave the woman my name and the woman told her that I had been dead 7 years. My daughters receive Medicad even though my ex makes more that $50,000/year. My daughters live with my ex (their dad) due to the fact that I went to prison for a crime he committed and he divorced me while I was incarcerated. What problems can I anticipate because of his lies?

This sounds as if it belongs on Jerry Springer. Perhaps the folks who are saying you are dead are doing so to avoid the shame they feel the children would be put to, or are doing so to avoid giving a long story.
If someone is saying that you are dead, you could assure the school and other people that know your children that you are in fact alive.
But in terms of your story, it's hard to believe anyone who is completely innocent would be convicted and incarcerated; it may be that your ex was also guilty but avoided prosecution or imprisonment, but that would not make you "innocent."
