I just married on April 26 2020 I brought my fiancee over from Kenya on a K1 Visa so we can do this here. Is she entitle to my pension ?

Answered by attorney Ronda Elizabeth Harris
Divorce lawyer at Harris Law Firm, PLLC
Getting married does not make all of your assets community property. Community property is what is earned during the marriage. However, there are more things to be concerned about when you marry someone who is not an American. I would caution you to be careful. I have represented multiple people who have spouses from overseas and have been caught up in a marriage scam.  It starts with demands for money, access to all money, then constant fighting, attempts to provoke you to physical violence, and it gets worse from there. If any of this sounds familar, then you need to seek an attorney immediately. The way the rest of this plays out .....you go to jail while your new spouse cleans you out and gets a fast track to a green card. If you cannot afford an attorney and any of this sounds familiar, I encourage you to do some internet research on this issue as soon as possible.

After I am married, am I entitled to part of the interest on his money market account or can he keep it all and reinvest?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
The funds existing in his money market are premarital property (sole and separate). This means that the funds in the account, as well as any income (e.g. interest) earned on those funds, is also his sole and separate property and he can do whatever he wants with it (reinvest, spent, share, etc).
