No property together. I retired prior to us getting married. I'm not employed and she wants spousal support and my retirement. We have been living apart for the past 3-4 years. We were married in Las Vegas(where I live) and she lives in Ohio. Is she entitled?
answered on Jun 15, 2022
She should not be entitled to your retirement as it was earned prior to your marriage. However, the income you receive from the retirement monthly may be used to calculate your total income in order to calculate spousal support amount.

You need her consent or an order from the court allowing the move. If she will not consent, you should file a motion to approve the move. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

I am not sure what you mean by "put away." If there is joint physical custody, then you and your ex-husband have equal physical custody rights that would be established by the parenting plan. Thus, your ex-husband cannot unilaterally infringe on your physical custodial rights without a... Read more »

Do you have a written custody order? What does it say as to this situation or comparable situations?

And someone took them. I then bought another pair of earrings with my money to replace them. We are breaking up and he is trying to take them and claim that he can because I lost the pair he originally bought so I owe him. Can he take them from me if I bought them even if I lost the pair he bought?
answered on Jun 12, 2022
Sounds more like a small claims action. He would have a hard time winning this. You can keep them if you want and he won't be able to get them from you unless a judge agrees with him.
He's a disbarred attorney and is bullying me into an uncontested divorce. He has been telling me he wants to reconcile since 2016 when he filed the first time. I learned that it was just a tactic to not have to pay alimony and to waste and dispose of assets.

Sorry, but I don't think that you have a case. The divorce court apparently approved the sale, and 7 years later your claim would be barred by the statute of limitations.
It's time for you to move on and get over this.
We are not separated or divorced. I would like to know by law am I obligated to give him half of my pension in the state of maryland?
answered on Jun 10, 2022
Until a court orders you to give him any, NO. However, in the event a divorce case reaches trial before a Maryland judge, one of the issues a judge resolves is how to divide marital property in an "equitable" manner. Marital property includes pensions, to the extent you contributed and... Read more »

Pursuant to Florida law, you would need to return to court on a Motion for Enforcement of the court order. The next step would be a judgment, which is a legal piece of paper saying that the debt is owed. The next step is to enforce the judgment. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific...
