Q: I was divorced in 2012 and today received a "Entry of Appearance" from my ex-husbands lawyer. What does this mean?
I did file bankruptcy in August that was discharged in December. And I do know that two of the debts are now going after him, but he still owes me money from his retirement. And that this new lawyer is representing him with that. We did not have lawyers for the divorce originally.
A: So your ex has hired a lawyer. The Entry of Appearance is the lawyer's way of stating the lawyer is the attorney for your ex in this case. That lawyer is probably going to file a motion of some kind. You should get a lawyer yourself.

A: You should consult with an attorney. Likely you ex will file a motion to rellocate property because of the debt that he is now responsible for. If he should be giving you retirement funds and is not, then you should have assistance in obtaining what you should receive.
