Washington. I
have a situtation that probably is not so unusual, yet I need some clairification as to my rights. My husband's ex divorced him after 9 years of marriage in 94. She was awarded half of the value of the house (he had two years to sell or refinance) and 18% of his future military retirement as a personal property settlement, not alimony, in addition to child support. He retired in 95 and has made monthly payments since. We met and married in 96, financed a 2'd on the house and she signed a quitclaim deed at the bank.
In 2000 she sued for over 20K in unpaid COLA on her portion of his military retirement, and won a 7000 judgement w/interest. My husband up'd her allotment but has failed to pay enough to clear this debt.
His health is declining now and we are considering a move to CA but I am concerned that she can lein the new house. Does his debt to her cease if he passes or am I responsible. They had a very bitter divorce and he is talking about stopping his allotment to her completely and I need to know how his actions will impact me. He says she can't collect against his military pension. Thanks
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
