Hi. I have a married Marine son stationed in Iraq since May 2004. In Sept. his wife started sending email stating she would be filing for legal separation. In October his wife sent email asking what property he would like to maintain so she could list on the legal separation paperwork. Among one of the items she acknowledged that would be automatically given to him was his recently purchased motorcyle which he bought from his reenlistment bonus and is only titled in his name. Now, we find out she sold the motorcycle 3 days ago and spent the $2500 for deposit and rent on a home. She full well knew she would be able to remain in home on base during the separation period therefore she was not forced into moving out and renting a new home.
The last email contact we had with our son (2 weeks ago,) he asked that we retain an attorney and draw up a new power of attorney, which we did. Now we find out the attorney did not email the paperwork for his signature therefore his wife still maintains a general power of attorney.
We did contact the motorcycle shop where she sold the bike and the owner stated he was going to put a stop payment on the check to her and keep the bike in storage for my son when he returns home.
My question is, my daughter-in-law states she had the power of attorney and selling the bike was legal. Is there any legal recourse for my son since he is on active duty in Iraq with no communication and his wife acknowledged via email that the bike will be going to him in the legal separation decree? Is there any protection for him so that she can't sell his other vehicle which is titled in his name only. She has already cleaned out and overdrawn the joint checking and savings accounts.
I would also like to add to our knowledge no legal separation has been filed to date however she did attend a 2 hour presentation at base legal regarding separation and divorce.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you!
