Can I evict my soon to be ex's girlfriend from our house?

Hopefully you have an attorney representing you. If not, you need to retain the services of an attorney immediately. Your attorney can seek a court order prohibiting your husband from having a live-in girlfriend in the marital residence.

If your husband dies while you are still married, the beneficiaries named in the IRA would be entitled to the money from the IRA.  Whether you would be entitled to any portion of that nevertheless would depend on whether your right of election was otherwise satisfied - that is your rights as a surviving spouse as per statute.  Normally this is the greater of $50,000 or 1/3 of the estate whichever is higher. In a divorce, he would be alive and you would be entitled to a distribution of that asset if was determined to be marital in nature, i.e. accumulated and or started during the marriage. A lawyer familiar with both areas of law should be consulted for more detailed response. -Alfred Polizzotto, III

What should I do if we haven’t filed for divorce?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
The smart option is to file for divorce as soon as possible. In Idaho, half those debts are yours until you get divorced. It may be different in other states. So, once the divorce happens, he will probably be responsible for ? of day care, medical bills, etc but will have to pay child support. Of course, if you are deployed, he will have the children and you may have to pay child support for that time period. It is complicated, but with a little planning, I believe all of the issues can be addressed.
