What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ga
I recently divorced in Ga, as a retired military member, She held out for half of retainer pay under USFSPA. I agreed to child support based of 50hrs weekly which I generally get. Anyway, we separated in Nov. Last week while looking at my bank statements I found several times where she used my debit card with outh my knowlege or permission. when confronted about it, her response was that she told the merchant to remove my card information from her account to which my response was they should have necer had it. Her come back is that she was entitled to because we were still legally married. I claim BS that GA is not community property and that by that time I had moved out of the marital home anyway. I have used this knowlege to try to force her to renegotiate our divorce settlement (BTW I have not paid her part of retainer yet because as I understand, she will not receive any retro from DFAS cleveland once the garnishment starts and I'm not required to do so either)
Legal question, Did she commit bad faith? Am I required to pay portion of retirement until garnishment starts? Do I have a civil/criminal case of credit card fraud?
