If my husband gives a car that is community property to his girlfriend, is she breaking any law?

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
She is not necesarily breaking any law but, under the right facts and circumstances, might become a party to a lawsuit for fraudulent transfer or for participating in and encouraging your husband's breach of fiduciary duty.In most instances, however, the court will simply compensate you in the division of your marital estate for the value of the gift.As an aside, if your husband has given a car that is community property to his girlfriend, he has most likely spent other money on her as well.  An audit or forensic accounting ought to be done of all of your accounts to determine if he has given more than just a car to her, and a claim for reconstitution of the community estate ought to be plead in your divorce proceeding.

The district clerk in the county he filed can provide a certified copy of the decree or confirm that nothing was filed.

If after 10 years I found that I'm still married to my ex husband who remarried two years after me, what should we do?

Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
You should first confirm whether or not your divorce was ever finalized. If it was not, it should not be difficult to complete the action now. You can ask the court to make the divorce effective back to a date prior to your next marriage. It is important for you to have the divorce finalized if there are provisions for child support, alimony, or the division of retirement benefits. If the new wife gets a divorce decree that gives her a portion of her husband's retirement benefits before you get a decree giving you part of his retirement, her order will take precedence of your order and could affect the amount you receive. You should contact an attorney to review the status of the first divorce to see what other issues might arise if your husband next divorce is entered before you can finalize your proceeding, and to determine the effect on your current marriage.
