Uncollected Settlement


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
I live and was divorced in Washoe County Nevada. Divorce decree awarded "one half of Plaintiff's Nineteen Thousand Dollar ($19,000.00) pension". Also, "one half of the proceeds from the sale of the Time Share."
I have never received one penny from my ex husband. Forgot all about the settlement 1989, until I started going through old papers. It was never explained to me whether I have to wait until his retirement to collect the money or if he was to give me the cash at the time of the divorce. Can I collect this money? What about the interest that has incurred, or will continue to accumulate until his retirement (another 15 years or so)?

My ex still lives in Washoe County but will have no contact with me.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Also, I think he let the Time Share go into default. I have no way of knowing whether he sold the Time Share or if it went into default. Do I have any recourse in any of this?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

The most you would be entitled to is $9500. Quite frankly you messed up. It is 20 years later and you may have waived collecting anything. And you would have to prove that there were proceeds from the sale of the timeshare.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.

Most pensions are NOT available until one reaches retirement age. A company provided pension is different than a 401K or IRA, as it is not the PROPERTY of the future retiree. It is also different from a "cash balance plan". It is merely a promise. I actually LOST about 25K worth of pension that was accrued when a former employer went bankrupt.

Time shares usually sell at a loss, if at all.
