Can retirement earned prior to marriage be taken in divorce since I paid 3 out of 33 years to social security while married?

Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Yes, your wife can divorce you. You may want to start the proceedings here though, and very soon, so that the court here has jurisdiction. She cannot touch your social security payments because of Federal law, although if you are receiving any payments on behalf of your children, they might be used for child support. If you want to keep the children, you must ask the court to give you custody. In Idaho, the courts are required to maintain the parental relationship unless it would cause harm to the child. But again, in Idaho, one party cannot move out of state with the children without the agreement of the other parent or a court order. In that case, the court must find that it is in the best interests of the child to move. It doesn't sound like your pension is subject to community property, but it may be subject to child support.

How can I get my ex to follow court order and pay me?

If he is self employed you have a problem because the only asset you can levy on is any known bank account. If he is employed, get the court to give you an order to levy on his wages. Bankruptcy does not relieve him of his obligation to pay support.

What will now happen on the home equity loan?

Answered by attorney Terry Anne Buchanan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Terry A. Buchanan
In California, a debt incurred after date of marriage is a community property obligation. That principal would be strong in your case as the funds from the loan went to purchase a vehicle for husband #2 after your marriage to husband #2.? An important fact would be the terms of your divorce judgment with husband #1 - husband #1 appears to be 50% liable for the first deed of trust (mortgage) and husband #2 would be?50% liable for the equity line. Husband #2's liability may well be 100% if he is awarded the truck that the equity funds were used to purchase.
