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.

No. He should make full disclosure of all assets. Anything else is fraud.
For starters:
How do I protect my assets?
Will we have to split everything 50/50?
Who will my 16 year old son live with?
There has been no petition filed yet. Just need some advice.

My girlfriend and I are considering marriage. There is a clause in her divorce stating she may not have overnights with a paramour while the kids are around. After marriage, would I (her then husband) still be considered a paramour?
answered on Jun 1, 2023
There are two generally accepted definitions of a paramour, neither of which would apply if you marry your girlfriend.
One definition--occasionally used in family law situations--is the illicit romantic or sexual partner of a married individual. Sometimes, in divorce proceedings, a divorce... View More

Possibly, but you will likely have to return to Kentucky if you want alimony. California has no personal jurisdiction over your husband. You can get divorced there regardless, but you’ll have to return to Kentucky to pursue alimony or maintenance.
How is it she is entitled to get that money back if i have to buy her half out if it not a marital asset. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It was his house,he sold it,even if her name was on it or it was gonna be left to her in his will. If inheritance cant be shared by divorcing spouses... View More

It is possible to make an argument that the down payment was a gift to the marital estate. However, if dad testifies that this was not the intent, the check was made out to daughter only not to daughter and husband, it is likely non-marital. Inheritances are usually non-marital and separate... View More
We've been separated a year she's been gone almost that length of time, how is it she can come back to this house whenever she feels like it? And secondly, we pretty much decided to sell the place at some point, and divide the money but, if I choose to refinance the place and buy her half... View More

She still has an ownership interest in the house regardless of how long she’s been gone so she can still come and go as she pleases. The money her dad put down is a non marital interest that will be restored to her by the court. The best thing to do is get the divorce filed and moving so you... View More
We have joint custody but lives with the mother and my boys live with me.I believe she's being abused by the BF. Can I get a EPO for her? It's a court order that boys live with me and our daughter lives with her.

You might be able to but without concrete proof the better move might be to report it to CPS and let them investigate first.
We are legally divorced but living together with our children.

No. You do not have to split your winnings. They are all yours.
We have been separated for a little over a year, she moved out and has been living in another County for almost that length of time with another man, can she just show up to our home whenever she wants even to get her remaining clothes or whatever else??

She would be entitled to come back to the house, unless there is a court order, saying she is not. If you are having issues over property, division and money, and her returning to the home, I suggest you hire a lawyer and file for divorce or if you’ve already filed for divorce file a motion in...

Our families health insurance is paid for out of my paycheck. My husband and I separated. Is he responsible for paying me his portion and half of our children’s portion of the insurance?
He left me in oct 2022. Rented a house. Now that he cant afford to stay there he wants to come back just to live not as my husband. I dont want him back. We both have our names on the house/land deed. Can i keep him gone?
answered on Jan 28, 2023
Legally, you can’t keep him from coming back. Best to get the divorce filed quickly, get the house divided and buy him out of his share.
We have separate bank accounts and I bought the ticket.
