Alpena, MI Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

I do not know of any statute of limitations as you call it relating to financial disclosure in a divorce. However the judge or court commissioner will frequently 68 deadline before which party must make complete financial disclosure, or when both parties must complete discovery. Find an experienced family law attorney, and rely on his or her advice. It's almost always worth the investment.

This is an interesting question. A house the husband and wife purchased together during the marriage is marital property in Utah. A house that is owned by one of the spouses prior to marriage, but to which the other spouse contributes money and/or goods and services or labor for maintenance or improvement can also assert a claim to an ownership interest in such a house as well. If your husband owned the house before marriage, but then you go signed on the home equity loan he took out against it, and you paid every single home equity loan payment out of your own earnings, you likely have a very strong claim to an ownership interest in that house. But it's not certain. The final call as to whether you have a marital interest lies with the court, which is given broad discretion to make those kinds of determinations. The best advice one can give you now at this point is to consult a good divorce lawyer to see what your options are and how best to solidify your claims.

In Florida the rules only require one party to physically appear, some judges have different rules and may require both if available. You may also appear by phone and some judges allow appearances by Skype.
