I find out my ex-h gave most of our money to his mistress before our divorce, is there a legal way to claim?

Besides treating the daughter badly he got his payback. They usually do. Never allow this man back into his life the way he did you just to prove to another woman his love, BULL he was hiding the money and trusted her and guess what pay backs are He**. ,,K

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

His money is still your money too, you're still married. Go to a lawyer and tell them that he has all of your assets, and maybe they will charge you based on the divorce settlement instead of up front.

It sounds like you've already done your research since you stated that you'll get half of the assets.  You might also be entitled to alimony.

Yea, this sounds like you need the court to help you on this sweety...\n\nIf he's been self employed you might want to know also how long he's been self employed and how much he's claiming...This is all going to be done through court...Perhaps you can ask the court since he's self employed if it can be garnished from his bank account...I'm not sure if this is legal, but maybe ask the court or get some legal help...\n\nGood luck.

Quite a lousy situation.  However, my take on it is this.  Sounds like your boyfriend holds some of the cards here.  Unless his ex had a signed contract with him regarding the money she had loaned him, she would be hard pressed to get it back unless she is willing to go through some major legal wrangling.  And yes, he was being used as a "storage unit" so he should definitely be entitled to the market rate of what that would have cost the ex had she done it properly.  I know what I would do.  Don't pay her a cent and dare her to try to take it to court.  In fact, you probably would have a better chance to prevail in a lawsuit you would bring against her considering the lack of 30 day notice as added ammo as well.  You may want to consider small claims court, since you could most likely do this on your own w/o lawyering up.

Nisha, you are in singles and dating. I think you will get much better advice if you put this question in             (business and finance/ Real estate). I think he forfeits the money,but find out first legally, then keep it if you can!\n I wish i could help. Good Luck

It all sounds like small claims court is the right place.  The defendant needs to show up and present her story (and it would help if the ex-boyfriend presents his.)  If anybody ha any evidence of who owns the stuff (receipts, etc.) it would help win the case.

Save all you receipts for any purchases for your ex-girl or your kids. Every time you give her money make her sign something that states the amount given and the date. This will help you in court.

Here's the thing, if she racked up the bill while they were still married, he's stuck with it. If she got a NEW card account in his name after they were divorced, it's fraud and illeagal, sue her.

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.

He is allowed to quit his job despite owing you money.  There are other means you can take to try to collect.  You can file a lien on any property he owns.  You can call him to court on something called a judgment debtor exam, and quiz him under oath about what he owns, examine his papers, and bank accounts.  You can take the contents of his wallet, or bank account, or his car.\n\nBut suing him again?  You've already sued him and are having trouble collecting?  What would be the point of suing him again?  (And, basically, you can't:  you already have won your case, and while there are ways to collect interest and costs associated with collecting your prior judgment, you have no new breach pf contract or infliction of emotional distress to claim.)

I believe he can claim you. My boyfriend was told he could claim me by an accountant. I would check with an accountant just to be sure. \n\nP.S. We are in California, it might be different in your state.

How do you *know* the ex is doing this?\n\nIn California, what you are describing would very likely be illegal.  If you were in California, and the employing agency didn't take your complaint seriously, you could contact the local prosecutor's office.  Also, and again in California, the state agency providing automated data such as you're describing would want to know about your claim.

I'm no lawyer, but I doubt this married guy who you were seeing has a case against you.   If he did, then every man in America would be suing his ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, or even women they dated who never "put out" ... they'd be suing them to pay back all the money they paid for dinners and movies and such.\n\nYour ex-lover sounds a bit off his rocker, if he thinks that he can get restitution from you after he voluntarily agreed to foot the bill for dates and stuff.   Especially if there's nothing in writing which you signed agreeing to pay him back -- which I'm sure is not the case, right?\n\nIf he gets too far out of hand, go to the police and file a complaint -- especially if his behavior has reached the "harrassment" stage.   If you need to go one step further, have a restraining order put on him.   \n\nIn the meantime, next time he calls you bugging you for money, just tell him, "If you want money from me, then sue me."  Then hang up -- after telling him that if he doesn't leave you alone, you'll get the cops and the lawyers after HIM.   \n\nIt sounds like has no grounds whatsoever for suing you, so ... I wouldn't worry about that.

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

The only way to get this debt removed is fight it with the creditor.  That may require a court trip to sue your ex for the amount she charged, then paying off the debt.  Be sure to make the creditor remove the report before you pay them, otherwise they just may leave it on your record.\n\nCredit reporting agencies will not remove this listing.  The best they can do is include a statement of your dispute, but most lenders ignore this information.
