Can my husband's ex-wife make a claim against my own personal assets, or company (divorce was 2 years ago)?

I believe that depends upon the state but yes she can because with you being married, whats yours is his.  A court may see it as income that he is receiving from you.

Ask your lawyer. It all depends on the situation with the trust and the conditions of your divorce.

Dear Friend,\n\nIt's time to consider filing for bankruptcy.  Your ex is broke, and there's no way the state can be held liable.  Sorry, that's the bottom line.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

This is a tricky issue.  Any property received while married is considered maritial property and subject to division by the court.  So, he would have a right to claim a portion of it.  This is the "legal" answer.  However, our courts consider both law and "equity" (fairness).  Even with a legal claim, he could be barred from asserting that claim if you use equitable defenses.  Since a large personal injury settlement could include permanent disability, disfigurement, loss of income, etc., it would be payment for losses incurred after the divorce.  Equity would step in and bar him from claiming it legally.  If he's divorcing you, the argument is even stronger.  The terminology for this equitable argument would be estoppel.  There are many, many equitable arguments.  Any good attorney can fill you in on the rest.

In general a better answer is yes she can, through what is commonly referred to as a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order).  The amount she may or will be entitled to varies by court decision in most cases, she could take none, all, or some.  Sorry for the bad news.  Talk to an attorney.

Kansas is not a community property state.\n\nSo the question is, was the car that she was driving registered to you? Are you on the Title of the car?\n\nIs your wife on the title of any property that you own?\n\nDo you have any joint assets with your wife.... bank accounts, investments, where you both are on Title?\n\nAny businesses where both of you are listed as owners?\n\nThe plaintiff's cannot go after your income. However, if you answered yes to any of the questions, the law suit could be amended to include you as a defendant, and after judgment, the plaintiffs could go after your properties, business, and assets for payment.\n\nWhile it might be too late, you should probably put any assets and property, where there is joint title, in your sole name, before you are named as a co-defendant, and before the plaintiffs do an asset search.\n\nOne last thing... whether she moves in with you or not is irrelevant.

You could try, but it would be up to the judge.  I think you'd probably need some pretty clear examples of how she is causing significant harm.  \n\nAnother avenue may be to get the custody agreement to stipulate that this girlfriend cannot be present.  The problem may be the court assuming you are a jealous ex-wife and not taking your concerns seriously.

Start here...there are several rules about states and injured spouse claims.  See what the IRS says...\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=141236,00.html\n\nIf you live in a community property state, the rules are different and you might be out of luck.  There are also rules about the proportion of income betwen the two spouses and what the may be able to take.\n\n\nDid you file the forms with your taxes?  If not, sometimes it takes a while for the forms to catch up with each other.  You will eventually be compensated.\n\nDo some research on the IRS site http://www.irs.gov and see what you can find.  Call the IRS and ask.  Or consult a tak professional (they've got a good bit of free time now)

Are you single or married?  \n\nTruth is always a defense.  Since the status is a question of fact, if someone has 'lied' about the status does provide some liability, particularly if there is a financial penalty involved.  Example would be if someone changed your tax withholding from single to married without your permission.\n\nBut for benefits and insurance purposes, no, you cannot sue.

it depends on where you live and the laws about martial assets there. Also what monies you would be using to buy the house.\nIf the money comes from outside the marital assets like an inheritance than yes you can do it. You would want to have a legal document signed by your soon to be ex spouse waiving all claim to the property.

This is a sticky situation. First, I'm going to assume that your husband was on the original note and mortgage with his prior wife, therefore, he is obligated to make those payments when she does not, regardless of the divorce decree. It's crummy, I know. Sure, she can be held in contempt, but that really doesn't help you and your hubby out. My suggestion is this: Call the mortgage company that holds the note. Or rather, have your husband called. As he is on the note, he has a right to access any of the information. Have him explain the situation to the mortgage broker and find out what help they can offer him. Next, find an attorney that will sit down with you and find out what they suggest you do legally with the ex-wife. \n\nI can relate, as my divorce attorney suggested that all I needed to do was sign a quit claim deed to "remove" myself from the property. Luckily, working in the industry, I did know better, but it really bothers me that this is so common. Please keep us posted, I'll keep you and your hubby in my thoughts in the hopes that this works out for you.

Well, My husband and I have been married for 10 years and we deal with his ex that takes my husband to court based on lies 1-2 times a year. We had only hired a lawyer 2 times in the entire 10 years. It is very easy to write, file and represent yourself. \n\nHere is what I would do. is file for a temporary restraining order based on collections harrassment. The judge will order her to only contact you to arrange visitation and talk about child's schooling and health. If she breaks it then go into family court with the restraining order and show that she broke the order.

More info required, before even a comment could be offered. Suggest you refer a good attorney, a.s.a.p., like maybe yesterday, so that the statuate of limitations, if applicable in your case does not come into force\n\nst/

She could still have a claim.  The question is what would it be?  If she claims that she was defrauded out of her property by excessive billing that she could not pay, or by repairs that were not legitimate in nature she could sue.\n\nStatutes of Limitations are always at a minimum 1 year for private actions (except for certain actions against government agencies).  Usually for fraud the SOL is more than a year...so I would say yes she still has a claim.

2 years from date of "injury" or "loss".

It is a controversial point of divorce law, but can be proven if intent and basis is established fact.\n\nIt is willful financial manipulation to avoid sharing in the estimate of joint assets and liabilities.  Generally, it is where one spouse tries to hide their assets and increase their liabilities in order to avoid disposition of either to their greater benefit.\n\nExample:  Couple A & B have car loan that is in both their names.  Spouse A stops paying the monthly payment on the car and it is repossessed.  In this scenario, Spouse A attempts to show that their financial situation is so dire, that they need additional alimony or asymmetrical division of assets or liabilities to improve their finances.\n\nIf Spouse A is found to have done so willfully, they may be accused of marital waste and their claims for the above will be dismissed.\n\nAgain, this can be hard to establish as fact.
