What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Okay, divorce is over, but the judge has not figured out anything with my wife and my financials! For example, I do not know which year I can start claiming my child on my taxes!
Second issue, my wife (ex-wife now) and I had a ROTH-IRA that was formulated throughout our marriage through my sole employment (ROTH-IRA was solely in my ex-wife's name)! There was $7,000 in there at the time of separation! My ex-wife claimed she removed all the funds prior to separation, but I believe this is a lie to the core. However, my ex-wife did not disclose any past statements during the divorce proceedings...not a single one as is required! When this was brought up to the judge, the judge told me that it was my job to track down the statements; which is against the law, because my ex-wife is suppose to surrendered the statements of the ROTH-IRA, so I can look at them to see if the funds were taken out before separation. Of course we all know she did not provide the statements, because #1) She took the funds out after the separation, #2) Disclosing the statements would mean she would be responsible for paying me half.
So, how do I track down the statements of the ROTH-IRA, if my ex-wife refuses to provide the statements AND the judge has told me that I need to find the information on my own? And yes, my ex-wife personally told the judge that she took the ROTH-IRA funds out before the separation (but no statements have ever been provided to me during full disclosure).
Last issue...we had a 730 evaluation order by the court ($15,000). My mom had to hock jewelry to pay for this, I had to sacrifice every paycheck to pay for this evaluation; which would not be turned over to the judge until it was paid! However, I had to upfront the entire cost of the evaluation which included 50% of my wife being evaluated! 100% of my research online shows that both parties are responsible for half the share of the evaluation. How can I petition the judge to have my ex-wife be responsible for half?
