How do I stop my husband from running away with his workman's comp settlement?

Answered by attorney Robert Andrew Michael Burns (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Robert Burns
Reading the following provision of the Cal. Family Code you'll see that you need a Court order to get any of the recovery: 2603. (a) Community estate personal injury damages as used in this section means all money or other property received or to be received by a person in satisfaction of a judgment for damages for the person?s personal injuries or pursuant to an agreement for the settlement or compromise of a claim for the damages, if the cause of action for the damages arose during the marriage but is not separate property as described in Section 781, unless the money or other property has been commingled with other assets of the community estate. (b) Community estate personal injury damages shall be assigned to the party who suffered the injuries unless the court, after taking into account the economic condition and needs of each party, the time that has elapsed since the recovery of the damages or the accrual of the cause of action, and all other facts of the case, determines that the interests of justice require another disposition. In such a case, the community estate personal injury damages shall be assigned to the respective parties in such proportions as the court determines to be just, except that at least one-half of the damages shall be assigned to the party who suffered the injuries.

What will happen after my husband was served papers by his ex wife for back spousal support?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
Check with the court to see if there is actually a pending court date. In Orange County, California you can see what papers have been filed and all upcoming (and past) court dates online. In other counties, like San Diego, California, you have to go to the courthouse and review your file. Do what you need to do to find out if there is a court date pending in your county. If there is, file your response on time and be in court early on your court date. It is much easier to deal with a case the first time around, then try to change things later because did nothing.

Am I entitled to my husband's trust fund if we get divorced and I didn't sign a prenup?

It sounds like it is your husband's separate property unless he added to it during marriage. You need to meet with a family law attorney in your community to get more detailed information. Good luck.
