What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
My divorce agreement provides for the transfer of 50% of the marital share of my IRA to my ex.
His lawyer sent me a letter demainding that I fill out the transfer form and authorize the transfer of 50% of the entire account to my ex (my agreement provides that he get 50% of the marital portion of the account) and that I return the form to him within 15 days or he will request court intervention and legal fees of $5,000.
Meanwhile, my ex has not yet paid child support for the month of October, pays the child support consistently late, and has not paid 50% of his share of medical support for our son, which has been due since June 2009, has not paid 50% of the cost of certain house repairs required by the divorce agreement, and has not reimbursed me for 1/2 the cost of a QDRO against his pension as required by the divorce agreeement.
I actually have an appointment with the child support enforcement bureau tomorrow. Also, my attorneys were not that effective for me, made some mistakes, and ran up big bills, even charged me to talk to a secretary. My attorney delayed dealing with the QDRO's and then wrote numerous letters to my ex's attorney requesting his cooperation in distributing the retirement account, all of which went unanswered. I feel much of the delay regarding the distribution of the retirement accounts is attributable to my ex.
Eventually, I just did my own QDRO's and am handling my case post divorce.
Also, I do not think my ex's attorney knows how dilatory my ex has been with his obligations.
By the way, my ex has maxed out most of his credit cards since the divorce and has even taken peronal loans and loans against his pension. He owes somewhere around $76,000 for the credit cards, and personal and car loans alone.
I have no problem sending him the form and would like to get it done. I already figured out my ex's marital share and will indicate it on the form ( I have statements showing my non-marital contributions).
I feel my ex is being disingenuous by asking for my timely response while he is in default of several of his obligations under our divorce agreement.
Should I send him the IRA transfer form right away or should I tell his attorney to have my ex pay what he owes before I send him the transfer form? Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Would he likely get counsel fees if he sought court intervention?
Thanks!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
