How can i get back the jewelry and cash gifts gave to my wife if we do not register our marriage?

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
It's not clear what you mean by "registered" - there is no requirement that a marriage be registered in New York. Recovery of gifts is generally negotiated - litigation can cost far more than most gifts.

My ex-wife has agreed to be bought out of my new york state pension. What paperwork is needed and do I need a lawyer

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
In the absence of a divorce agreement that provides otherwise, a judgment of divorce terminates the right of the ex-spouse to any share in any pension or survivor benefits of their former spouse. Assuming your divorce judgment provides that your ex gets a one-time payment as a pension buyout, this needs to be effectuated with a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). The pension plan won't pay your ex without a QDRO, and the QDRO will only include such benefits as are found in the divorce agreement. Do you need a lawyer? I'd say "yes". Even divorce lawyers tend to need help from other lawyers who specialize in QDROs.
