I would expect it is hard to hire a Divorce Lawyer if you have no money. At $400 an hour it gets expensive quick. Unless there are some women's support group type lawyers available that I don't know of. |
Actually 0/2 is 0, 2/0 is error |
OP probably has other assets such as a 401k she can borrow from. |
Oh the problem solved poster. |
Take out half. It's yours, and you'll need it. Tell him he can keep the other half, and then get divorced. You already know you're dealing with a liar, so you have to stay five steps ahead of him. |
Really? This is what you chose to focus on at the moment. Can you actually help the op with her inquiry? Smh |
She can't take out half - he already withdrew the money. This is such a short thread, is it that hard to read through it before posting? Really? |
Meh, it's DCUM. Lots of math nerds here. Better that than telling her to take out money that doesn't exist. |
1. Cancel all credit cards.
2. For any accounts that have a balance, withdraw it. (Either Joint or accounts that other may have access to) 3. Find you check book and lock it up 4. Talk to a professional. |
Get a cash advance on any joint credit card accounts, up to the credit limit. Before he does it. That will keep him from using those accounts as they will be at their credit limit and he is responsible for paying off those accounts, same as you (but you have the cash).
Talking to a lawyer is worthless. You have to act on your own first. |
Make sure your pay and all monies never go to joint acct again. Also after you get paid withdraw max cash to stash away (eg with a friend). If it's in the bank (even individual acct) it's still marital property. Also feel free to take cash from the credit cards, liquidate everything you can. |
This is the reason a LEGAL forum on here would totally be awesome. ![]() |
Did you get s job |
Op here. Yes, I've had a job all along and fortunately have other monies. He's been taken off the joint credit card and account changed, so with joint bank account now at zero, seems like financial damage for the moment is contained. Thanks for helpful responses. |
Oh boy! ha ha ha |
