What can I do if my ex-husband head quarts on his 401k to me?

Vanessa J. Gorden
Answered by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden
Divorce lawyer at GordenLaw, LLC
Look at your divorce decree. If the decree awarded you a portion of his retirement and he is stalling you will need to get an attorney to draft the Qualified Domestic Relations Order dividing retirement. This can usually be done for a flat fee but is complicated enough that an attorney should be the one to do it. If the decree/property settlement do not address his retirement and you relied on only his verbal statements, there is no way to enforce that. Best wishes.

If I get a car after I am separated as a gift can my husband take it during the divorce?

Cindy S. Vova
Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
Dear Anonymous:      If you receive a gift from another individual and no marital assets were used to acquire same, then it is not part of marital property.  This is more particularly true once you have filed for divorce.  However, if there was any residual value in the old vehicle, then that value would still be part of marital assets.  So,  if you were to sell the old car and get $1000.00 for it, then that $1000 would be marital and subject to equitable distribution in the divorce.    I would make sure you can prove that the new vehicle was a gift and that no marital assets were used to acquire it.   Best of   luck.   Cindy S.

How long will it take to process a divorce?

Cindy S. Vova
Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
I have to answer a question with a question...do you play chess?  Well, how long does a chess game take?  The answer to both questions is, "it depends."  It depends on the skill of the players and the moves of each player.  There are many factors that account for how long a divorce takes from start to finish.  In general it depends: 1) On the complexity of the case; 2) On the cooperation between the parties AND their lawyers in following court imposed deadlines and supplying documents in a timely fashion 3) How badly one...or both of the parties want to fight and waste money rather than work on a solution. 4)  How backlogued the courts are    I have completed divorces in about a month (where parties were all in agreement and everyone knew what the other had and made), and I have had cases that linger for several years.    If you are comtemplating   a divorce I sincerely hope you will be in the "less time" category, as that means there is cooperation, a resolution and not as much wasted money.   Best of luck, Cindy Vova  Law Offices of Cindy S.
