Odds are very likely that he's going to eventually do that one thing that will bring the house down on himself. The good thing is that you left that house a long, long time ago.

I used to subscribe to a credit monitoring service that let me know every time a credit check was made in my name.

This is probably very small comfort to you, but one good thing I got from my ID theft brouhaha was that it made it very difficult for me to actually get more credit. It curbed my admittedly irresponsible spending habits down to zero. So by the time it was all over I had no debt. That said, for those who need credit to get by, this is not much of a solution at all.
