He just received $10,000 for back pay due to being granted 100% service connection.

Then if it was properly filed in Nevada, that is all that matters. And ignore LD on all matters concerning Ohio. She knows nothing and tries to pretend she does (actually that is for all family law matters). You are legally married if Nevada recognizes your marriage. You may get $800 a month in child support but that is not guaranteed because it is based upon facts not presented here. You are entitled to 50% of marital property and 50% of marital debt. And there is also "putative spouse" that matters. In what county are you located in Ohio?

Never assume your enemy is correct !

As others asked, settlement for what?

 

[Lost cause]

It actually was back pay for receiving his 100% service connection. Also his monthly VA compensation has increased to 3500 monthly.

ON what theory is back pay outside the marital pot ? Was the original issue before you were married ?

The guy's theory is that if he claims that they were never really married, then it's not a marital asset.
