Dear Seniors.
this post is not for my benefit, this post is for the benefit of a particular reader of these forums. this is a subject that is often not discussed or pointed out.
a particular spouse believes it is within his/her right to withhold marital property from the other spouse. in particular, the televisions, the entertainment center, the computer, DVD's, etc. while both still living in the home pending a divorce.
i've had an ex do this nonsense to me. i heard it directly from a police officer that if the parties are marital, neither party has the right to withhold marital assets from the other. a judge will decide in a divorce what belongs to who, and it will not be dependant on who paid directly for the item. everything down to debt, will be split down the middle if both parties cannot agree.
and to do otherwise, is considered financial abuse.
is this correct?
