For California law to apply, a party must be a resident of the state for 6 months and the applicable county for 3 months prior to filing a divorce. Then California law would apply.

If my husband and I signed the divorce papers and it was signed by a Judge is this a binding paper as for enforcing the father to pay his child suppot

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
The divorce decree should state whether there is income withholding, and there should be a separate income withholding order. If there is not one, you should get one. You also should be able to file an enforcement for child support. If the children are on Medicaid, eventually, the attorney general of Texas will file an enforcement. However, sometimes the AG does not file because they are overloaded with cases. You should probably file the enforcement yourself. You can get more information here: texaslawhelp.org.

Am I entitled to the IRA money during a divorce if it was opened prior to the marriage?

Answered by attorney Annette M Cox Sandoval (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cox Sandoval Law, PLLC
It appears that if you made absolutely no contributions during the marriage and you can show that the IRA contributions were solely made prior to marriage, then that IRA would be considered your sole and separate property. It does not get factored into the division of property during a divorce.
