How serious is it if I have charged by cell phone bill to my wife’s account?

My wife and I have been married for 4 years and we have recently decided to get a divorce but we have not yet filed. She discovered that the last 7 months my cell phone bill was being charged to her own individual bank account. I offered to reimburse her for the money charged to her account but she claims she filed a police report and I have felony charges. Is this considered a felony and how serious of a felony would it be?
