Q: My question: How do I file for half of my ex's pension rewarded to me in the final divorce decree.
My final divorce decree awarded me half of all my ex's retirement investments...
But, during the discovery process of our divorce... My ex DID NOT disclose the pension fund... of which I have just recently been made aware of... Due to my ex having to move this pension fund by August 1st. So... First, since my ex DID NOT disclose this pension during the discovery prossess of our divorce ( of which the divorce has been finalized since 2018 ) ...and this pension fund has only now been discovered due to my ex having to move funds out of this pension...
Q1: ( Is this a contemptible offense that I may file contempt charges with the court system? )
...Causing my ex to reach out to me trying to get me to sign away my right to half of the pension fund. But, would NOT disclose the actual amount in said pension.
Q2: ( How or who can I legally contact for full disclosure of this pension fund and what will I need to do so? )
PLEASE, answer ASAP due to my ex relocate funds
A: Hire an attorney to file a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) for you. If he concealed it’s existence, you probably can file for contempt and your attorney fees as well.
