It depends on what type of account your spouse has their retirement through.  If it is a defined benefit pension plan you are S.O.L. because you can only get a monthly benefit at their earliest eligible retirement age. Many other plans (like defined contribution) are the same way, but will let you take the money after 3 years.  In any event, it will probably take 18 months AT LEAST, since this is how long the plan has to go back and forth with your attorney as to how the QDRO is worded, etc.

Not a "done deal" until the Decree is filed and 30 days has passed from that time. You have 30 days to appeal to the Supreme Court (of your State) from the filing of the final Order or Decree. If you want a New Trial (usually what is done first) that must be filed within 10 days. Most of the time the Decree is done within 30 days after the Court ruling or agreement of the parties.

If he submitted any form he should have gotten a receipt notice fairly quick. My advice would be for him to schedule an appointment to check if they ever got the application. I hope he sent it through certified mail and if he has a copy of the application he should take that too. He should take any legal document pertaining to his application. Keep in mind that the receipt notice comes quick, what takes a while is processing. Good Luck

You should talk to your husband's lawyer. The lawyer should file the motion. If it is a matter of fees, contact the public defender's office.\n\nIf you file a motion that does not have all of the required information and it is denied, it could prevent a lawyer from filing the correct motion later.\n\nNo matter what, you should speak to a lawyer in your area.

You seriously need the advice of local counsel specializing in such cases and who is familiar with the courts in your district.\n\nGood luck.

I would send him a letter informing him that you have contacted a lawyer regarding the matter and the issue needs to be solved by such-and-such date. After that? Small claims court. Take it to Judge Judy!

If you have a lawyer, notify him or her right away.  If you don't have a lawyer, get one.\n\nYou should contact the court to determine if a hearing is actually set for Friday.  Even though you might not have been served with papers, it would not be a good idea to ignore this situation as others have suggested.  \n\nFor you all you, your ex might have gotten someone to falsify a proof of service to show that you were properly served.  You might have to request a continuance and properly prepare for the hearing.  If there is a hearing and you don't show up, the court might make and adverse ruling against you that could be difficult to undo.

No, your case will now go to cival court. This time period was to establish an answer by the defendant. No answer, the defendant will now be issued a date and time for appearance. You should be receiving a notice as to your case date within 30 days. Now if the defendant does not show up for the actual case, they will probably give them one more chance to reply. If on the second appearance they do not show up, you may win the judgement by default. This why it takes a long time to settle cival matters. Also, ust because you win a judgement, don't plan on collecting. Most judgements are never collected and the party receiving the judgement usually has to place a "lien" on the defendants property to force them to pay up. The defendant them moves to another  county or state and you are back to square one. Good luck!

It should not take long at all.  Check first with the police department, but you will probably have to get a lawyer.

I assume you mean you filed for Innocent Spouse relief.  The IRS needs to establish the facts on which your claim is based, and then determine whether you have satisfied the requirements for relief.  They will not grant relief automatically on the basis of your claim.  If they have not responded within 6 months of the time you filed, you have the right to file a case in court to have your claim determined.

I tried doing this myself, but there's too much involved, it's not just preparing and filing the motion, i had to have papers served on the other party and get a motion for a hearing before the judge.  There's more to it than the initial filing of a motion. I gave up, since a lawyer would be the only way to get it done properly.

Barbara is right. You need to file in the county where the child resides (and has resided for at least 6 months). And, you can only collect child support that dates back to the date you originally filed for support.\n\nYou can pick up the paperwork at your local Family Court office or you can request assistance from D.S.S. They will help you even if you don't qualify for other services.
