Manteca, CA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Cheating by either party is totally irrelevant to your question. You will be entitled to claim a "fair share" of all marital property and to ask for spousal support. Whether you get what you ask for depends on the facts and whether your husband agrees or if it will require a judge to make the decision.

A divorce judgment, like any other form of judgment, can be enforced. You need to know, however, whether your spousal support/alimony is modifiable or non-modifiable. If it is modifiable, then he can file a motion for future modification if the reduction in income was beyond his control. If your judgment provides for non-modifiable spousal support, then it is a collection action. As with any collection action, there needs to be income or assets to attach. An attorney should review your papers and render advice as to your specific situation.

Child support is based on income, not assets. There is a math formula mandated by the legislature. You would be entitled to 50% of the retirement assets earned during the term of the marriage. Alimony/spousal support is discretionary with the judge.
