Its not a nationwide law, its specifc to the state and even to the municipality.  In New Orleans, they are very liberal with regard to walking around on the street with an open container.  In NYC, you can't do that, you'll get a ticket.

It really depends on the state. Which lawyer were you talking to? Hers? Yours?  \n\nIn many states only the wifes 1/2 of the community property is hers.

No-fault divorce is divorce in which the dissolution of a marriage does not require fault on either husband or wife to be shown. It occurs on petition to the court, typically a family court by either party, without the requirement that the petitioner show fault on the part of the other party. Either party may request, and receive, the dissolution of the marriage, despite the objections of the other party.\n\nModern "no-fault" divorce came about because of widespread disgust among lawyers, judges, and the general public with the legal fictions that had become commonplace since the mid-20th century.\n\nPrior to the no-fault divorce revolution, a divorce could be obtained only through a showing of fault. This was something more than not loving one another; it meant that one spouse had to plead that the other had committed adultery or abandonment or some other similarly sinful act. However, the other spouse could plead a variety of defenses like recrimination. Often, a judge might find that the defendant had not committed the alleged act, or that both spouses were at fault for the fact that the marriage was dysfunctional. Either way, the judge would refuse to dissolve the marriage.\n\nSubsequently, at some point the two spouses would each find some other person they really loved, and then would seek to marry that other person. But first, they had to get rid of their existing marriage or risk prosecution for bigamy.\n\nNew York was notorious for its "collusive adultery," in which both sides deliberately agreed that the wife would come home at a certain time and discover her husband committing adultery with a "mistress" obtained for the occasion.[1] She would then swear to a carefully tailored version of these facts in court (committing perjury in the process), the husband would sheepishly admit to a similar version of the facts, the judge would convict the husband of adultery, and the couple would be divorced.\n\nIn most other states, especially California, the most popular grounds for divorce was cruelty (which was unavailable in New York). For example, by 1950, wives were pleading cruelty in 70 percent of divorce cases in San Francisco.[2] In case after case, wives would testify to the same pitiful facts: their husbands swore at them, hit them, and generally treated them terribly.\n\nThis procedure was described by California Supreme Court justice Stanley Mosk in a passionate dissent:\n\nEvery day, in every superior court in the state, the same melancholy charade was played: the "innocent" spouse, generally the wife, would take the stand and, to the accompanying cacophony of sobbing and nose-blowing, testify under the deft guidance of an attorney to the spousal conduct that she deemed "cruel." — In re Marriage of McKim, 6 Cal. 3d 673 (1972) (Mosk, J., dissenting) [3]. \nNeedless to say, such empty procedures were appalling to both lawyers and judges, who felt that it made oaths meaningless and threatened to destroy the integrity of the American justice system (by making lying in court into a commonplace occurrence).\n\nIndeed, as early as the 1930s, a treatise on American family law had complained:\n\nIn divorce litigation it is well known that the parties often seek to evade the statutory limitations and thus there is great danger of perjury, collusion, and fraud .... In many cases no defense is interposed, and often when the case is contested the contest is not waged with vigor or good faith.[4] \nStarting in the 1960s, numerous commentators pointed out that it might be best to recognize that two spouses who were determined to end their marriage would get what they wanted by any means necessary. Therefore, they argued, the law should adapt by providing a straightforward procedure for ending a marriage, rather than forcing a couple who just couldn't get along to choose between living together in "marital hell" or lying under oath in open court.

I was in a very simialar situation with my ex  and sought advice from my divorce attorney. He recommended that the only way to legally stop him is to take out a warrant for slander and difimation of character at the local magistrate offfice.  Her divorce attorney can advise her on the best way to proceed from there, if she can prove everything that he has been saying is a lie and she has plenty of emotional support for her through this, I didnt but  i would do it all over again.

Civil law sucks no matter what state you are in.  It is boring and teadious reaserch.  You might try going to a few different search engines, typing in New York State Civil coeds, or even branch out into New York State post mortam law.  Get a veriaty of sources, because 3 sources might not have what you need, but the fourth one may have a case file refrence were the situation has been to court before.  It's all about the reaserch....I am devorced, but I kept my house, my cars, and I have custody oof my kid.  And I did it on my own without an attourny.  It's all about the research.  Good luck

Depending on how much the fines and penalties are, you need to go to small claims or superior court in the city where the fines were incurred.  \n\nBefore you do that:  \n\n1--Get a copy of all the documents related to the fines, the car, the EZ-pass account under your name, etc.  \n\n--You also need to get your sister to show up in court with you and/or sign a notarized affadavit that she was threatened (better if she appears in court with you).  \n\n--Also bring info./docs showing that you were not in the country during this period.  Ask the EZ-pass people if they have video recordings of the car when he was using the pass.  \n\n--Contact the EZ-pass people about what their policy is for fines received when you are not the driver of the car, are not in possession or ownership of the car, etc.  \n\nAbout the ring and car:  You may be out of luck on these if you signed off on the divorce instead of pressing the issue for their return at the time that you divorced.  But, ask for it anyway in your civil suit along with the fine money.    \n\nWhen you go to the city (New York City?), definitely call the local law schools.  The schools often have programs where law students will look at your case and give advice on your rights and how to proceed with your case if you want to pursue it.  (Also check with the local library--sometimes they sponsor such programs of having lawyers to meet with the public to give advice.)
