What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
My soon to be ex is trying to say that i owe him half of my 401K that we emptied out about 4yrs ago to pay off credit cards. There was only about 10thou in there. He is saying that we used the money to pay off credit card bills that I racked up. Which is untrue it was mutual. My gfather whom he has never met sent us about 8000.00 3yrs ago as a gift and we spent that paying off furniture and appliances for the new home. He is saying that I owe him half of that money and he wants a claim to it. HE is saying that it was me who spent it. Am i not right in thinking anything spent during the marriage is maritial debt etc. Does he have claim to the above??
