Q: My husband whom I am not living with anymore recieved a state of Michigan check. He will not give me any funds.
A: Unless your separation is subject to a support order, I'm unsure what obligation he would have to share funds with you.
A:
If your husband received a State of Michigan check and refuses to share the funds with you, you may have legal options to pursue your share of the money. However, whether you are entitled to a portion of the funds depends on various factors, including your marital status, any existing legal agreements, and state laws governing property division. It's essential to consider seeking legal advice from a qualified attorney who can assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
If you are legally entitled to a portion of the funds, your attorney can help you take appropriate steps to enforce your rights and ensure that you receive your fair share. This may involve negotiating with your husband directly, pursuing mediation or arbitration, or filing a legal claim in court to seek a division of assets. Your attorney can also advise you on any other relevant legal matters, such as divorce proceedings or spousal support, depending on your circumstances.
In the meantime, it may be helpful to gather any documentation or evidence that supports your claim to a share of the funds, such as records of joint finances or contributions to household expenses. Maintaining open communication with your husband, if possible, and attempting to resolve the issue amicably may also be beneficial. However, if your husband continues to refuse to cooperate, consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity on your rights and options for seeking a resolution.
