How long will alimony last?

David Ari Goldberg
Answered by attorney David Ari Goldberg
Divorce lawyer at The Goldberg Legal Group
The alimony continues until there is a further order by the court. You can expect that the alimony would continue for approximately half the length of the marriage but depending on your and her circumstances it could be less. If either of your situations significantly change you may want to seek a modification. You should consult with an attorney when it is time for the modification.

Am I entitled to ex-husband's retirement pension if we were married for 19 years?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
First is to review the divorce decree. The Divorce decree should have specified that the retirement plan was a community asset and to be divided. Also, where did you and your spouse live during the marriage? An attorney would need to determine if either California or Nevada have jurisdiction over the retirement plan to divide it.

Does gifts from parents become marital property that the husband or wife must share with each other?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Vicki S. Vasser (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Wright, Lindsey & Jennings LLP
Gifts a husband or wife receive from his or her parents would typically be treated as separate property, rather than marital property; however, if the husband or wife changes the manner in which the property is titled, then it could impact the nature of the property. For example, if husband receives a gift of land from his parents and it is deeded to husband, individually. If husband decides he wants to put the land in both he and his spouse's name, he may have altered the nature of the property, changing it from separate to marital. If spouses wish to maintain a gift as separate property, the nature of the property should be held separately from marital property; otherwise you risk commingling the separate property with marital property and it could be divisible in any future divorce.
