- Q. Should my Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage state whether I have to pay my ex-husband maintenance?
- A: Yes, a Final Judgment or any Marital Settlement Agreement referenced within the judgment must state domestic support obligations. In other words, if alimony was ordered, it must be in the Final Judgment.
Next, where you ask "The parties shall divide their marital property or the court will reserve jurisdiction..." The order should state in what percentage to divide the marital property. You may have to go back to court on a Motion for Clarification. If your 401(k) is part of the marital estate, then yes, you will have to divide it. This will take the services of an expert who specializes in Qualified Domestic Relation Orders ("QDRO"). There is no way around hiring this ... Read More
- Q. Can I be sued for ex-wife's car repossession after she filed bankruptcy?
- A: First, the lender has the right and will probably sue you for any deficiency in the loan once the car is repossessed and sold at auction. The bankruptcy will only protect her, not you. She has the option of surrendering or keeping the car by paying off the car loan, her choice. Good luck!
- Q. Why is there a motion to vacate in my uncontested divorce in FL?
- A: It sounds as if once you’re former spouse found out about the inheritance, they hired a lawyer to vacate the final judgment and make a play towards that inheritance. They’re probably claiming some type of fraud on your part. However, an inheritance is not subject to equitable distribution, so I believe, based on the facts you submitted, that your inheritance is safe. But you do need to respond to the motion. Good luck.
