We each have life insurance policies, IRA’s, traditional Roth and 401k. All named in our Trust. I have kids (18+) from a previous marriage.

As this is not a settled matter in Nevada, it will come down to deciding if the property that was placed in the trust was and will be considered community property or separate property. Putting assets in a trust does not automatically make the assets separate property. The source of the assets... View More

If the divorce decree stated that the equity of the house was to be evenly divided, she must follow the court order. Failure to do so would be contempt of court and you can file a motion with the court forcing her to abide by the decree.

Nevada is a community property state and thus any property that is acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the loan or title, can be subject to equitable division.

because you are both still married and have not filed any documents with the court (I am assuming you have not), the court will not be able to assist you with this matter at the moment as you are both still married.

Once the divorce has been finalized and the notice of entry of Decree has been filed your divorce is final and the parties are bound by the Orders in the Decree.

Unless there is some contract, she cannot force him to convey out. Examine the divorce decree carefully. In all likelihood the Mother's only recourse is to file an action for Partition. But even that does not put anything in your name as basically you have no legal standing.
