Yes - the judge should consider that in the equitable distribution of what assets are remaining.  Your spouse cannot gift away large amounts of money during the divorce and then claim equitable distribution of the remaining sums.  Good Luck.  

I agree with you. I think your husband's attorney is trying to stonewall you as you are not as familiar with the legal divorce process. You can request the Court to send the case to mediation, but you will probably need an attorney there as well.

Its not a conflict of interest, because your sister in law is not an attorney, but its probably not a good idea.  It is only going to lead to problems because she obviously knows things about both of you that a lawyer would normally not know.  A conflict of interest for an attorney only occurs when the attorney has represented one of the parties before.  So if the attorney your husband is using has represented both you and your husband before, for example in purchasing real estate, doing your will, or anything else, then that attorney cannot now represent your husband in the divorce.
