Q: What do i do with my soon to be Ex husband refusing to give me my portion of the covid-19 stimulus money?
Our final divorce hearing is scheduled for 06/12.It's a high conflict divorce with a spouse who will not cooperate in anything.The funds were deposited into his account and he said he will not release them until the judge makes the divorce decision. With this corona situation my job shut down and his did not.He still gets income as usual but withholds the only hope for me at this time.
We are on temporary orders with 50/50 custody and he has never let go of his anger.
We have 3 minor kids so we got $3900.I told him if anything is to be contested it can only be the $1500 for the children..
He has refused to listen and worst of it said the money will remain in his account that i have no access to.
What are my options?
A: I think this should be resolved at your hearing. It is unlikely that the court will address this before then. Most courts are hearing only emergency matters-this would not qualify. You should get a lawyer if you don't have one already.
