Can he really take 1/2 of everything even though he's gambled most of his income in the last 10 years?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dana A. Azar (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Dana A. Azar
Georgia has the notion of "equitable" division that means "fair." You may have to go to a Judge or jury trial, but if you can prove that your husband gambled away the family assets and only contributed very little with his income as compared to your income, the judge or jury may well award you more than one-half.

Can my ex-husband's children take my monetary assets?

Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
When you quitclaimed the house you gave it to him with the contents. If he left it to his children it belongs to them. You should talk to a probate attorney to see if there's anything you can do after so much time.

How do I attach the notarized MSA to the judgment?

Answered by attorney Jon Laurence Rathjen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jon Rathjen
With a staple. Seriously, assuming the MSA is complete and addresses all necessary issues, and is properly referenced in the Judgment (things you can check by having an experienced family lawyer review the package).
