- Q. I have been married for 34 years and my husband is a gambler. Lately I found that he has been withdrawing from his 401k
- A: No, not necessarily. Only with a divorce filing are "Automatic Orders" put in place which restrain parties from removing funds from retirement accounts. Otherwise, he must agree to not remove the funds - in which case divorce is your better option. Schedule a consultation with a Bronx Divorce attorney for a full assessment.
- Q. I filed for divorce in Feb with a judgement of stipulation. It's still pending and I am hoping for it to be finalized in
- A: You can't get a modification of your agreement in Family Court. You'd need to wait until the Divorce Judgment gets signed & THEN file for modification. Be prepared to prove that the reduction of your income since you signed the agreement was thru no fault of your own - and that you're making best efforts to maximize your income. Schedule a consultation with a Bronx Divorce attorney for a full assessment.
- Q. Getting separated from wife. She wants spousal support. I pay child support from a previous relationship. Can I deduct
- A: The way the statute reads, it's technically payment of maintenance (a/k/a spousal support) which gets deducted form income before calculating child support. Often times, however, cases resolve themselves by doing the reverse calculation (as you've laid it out). Schedule a consultation with a Bronx Divorce attorney for a full assessment.
