What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Indiana
My divorce has recently been completed after a very long 7 years. All marital assets have been accounted for and have been assigned in the final judgment.
There are several accounts in my former spouse's name at brokerage houses, banks, etc. that have been awarded to me in the settlement. My question is how do I go about collecting the assets within these accounts? Specifically what prevents my former spouse from never voluntarily transferring the funds? Within the judgment I saw no timeframe for asset distribution or penalties. Also, can I go to the institutions that hold the accounts directly and petition them to transfer the assets since I have a legal judgment that gives me ownership of them?
Thank You for your help.
