| | | Divorce Papers?
I live in the state of Virginia, but my question pertains to the state of Georgia. Recently my ex-husband died tragically in the state of Georgia and from what I understand, his family is filing a wrongful death lawsuit. This lawyer is looking for a copy of our divorce papers. We have been divorced for a few years and I know that divorce papers are public record. Why would our divorce papers be necessary? What would they have to do with their law suit? I would appreciate any information you might be able to pass along. Thanks very much |

| | | No, the divorce was very simple and mentioned nothing of life insurance. It was a very simple divorce, with me going back to my maiden name. We had no property or accounts to split. |

| | | Then if you have a copy of the decree send it to them. If not, then write the attorney a very nice letter informing them that it is not your place to do their work for them nor do you have the time to do so.

| | | My cynical side says if the decree is that simple, his family/lawyer only wants it to make sure that you don't try to "weasel" yourself into the wrongful death lawsuit. Tell them you charge $350/hr. for your time to do their investigation for them, that ought to stop the requests.
