We just got divorced in September of 2019 there was no previous court order that required him to prove up for his secondary employment does he prove up from 1/1/2019 through 12/31/2019 or only from the date the divorce was entered? Nothing about retro prove up is mentioned in our MSA
I believe you are using incorrect phraseology. From the best I can determine, you should be saying "true up" instead of "prove up". Without knowing more facts from you, the true up would generally cover the entire year of 2019.

Contact the clerk of the court of the county in which the case was filed. Their records will tell you everything you want to know.
You can file whenever you wish.

For half of the cost? It's considered cosmetic and not needed for health reasons. We live in Indiana

The answer should lie in the language contained in his Judgment. Whether or not it covered by insurance has nothing to... Read more »
I understand they get a percentage of back pay!
Like would they be able to get a percentage of pain and suffering ,punitive damages or emotional distress. And if so is there a certain percentage?
There is no set percentage. The non-injured spouse is likely to be awarded a portion of the award, but it is typically not a 50-50 thing. The division is up to the judge and is dependent upon the various elements upon which the recovery is based.

My Husband mistress announced on Facebook and it has torn me to piece s.What can be done?
I believe that adultery is no longer a crime in IL. In any event, I sincerely doubt if the prosecutor in your County would bring charges. I have never seen it done.

Whatever you are trying to avoid will not be avoided by waiting to deposit the funds until after you file. If the funds to be deposited are marital or not, the mere filing is meaningless and makes no difference.

No, it does not mean the divorce is cancelled. It merely signifies that the Summons was not served. The party that filed the divorce may cause an Alias Summons to issue, and this can continue until Service is had.
