How can I protect my 401K during a divorce? Also would it still be protected if I roll it over to an IRA?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
In Texas, all assets start with the presumption they are community property and subject to fair division during a divorce. However, it is fairly straightforward to prove, if it was the case, that the majority of a retirement account was accrued as separate property prior to marriage. If most or all of the work that vested the retirement account occurred during the marriage, however, this is a community asset suject to division. Rolling the asset into an IRA would not offer any special protection, and doing so with the intent to hide an asset would be bad.

How long do I have to wait to put the house up for sale?

You don't provide enough detail for a reliable answer. Basically, the question of who owns the house (and thus has complete legal control) won't be decided until the final decree of divorce is entered. The decree will either (a) approve the parties' agreement about who gets the house or what is supposed to happen & who has control or (b) reflect the judge's decision if the parties could not agree. Until that happens, you don't necessarily have any final authority to do anything.

How do I respond to a divorce filed by my husband in the US?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)

You can call the clerk of the court to ask for copies of the papers. Depending on the process he used, he may be able to ask for money. You could make him start over if you could prove he lied when he filed stating he did not know where you are. If he only wants a decree of divorce and is not asking for any money, then you might be best off going through with it, as it?s not a good idea to remain married to someone with questionable behavior, since there are always some risks to you being his spouse. As well, if he wants a divorce, the court is going to grant it, as they will not force people to stay married, so it probably is in your best interest to go along with it if only to ensure your rights are protected. A lawyer in Colorado, like me, can enter an appearance, review the case, talk to him and help you get though it. If the case is uncontested (i.e., he is not asking for money and you are not either), it would not be expensive to have us help you (likely under $1,500).
