What do I need to do ?

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question.  I understand how concerned you must be about your home.  It is important to determine how far behind the mortgage payments on your home are at the current time. I suggest giving the mortgage company a call to determine the exact amount of the mortgage arrears, if they have actually filed a foreclosure complaint yet with the Court and when the last full payment was paid.  This will help you determine the timeframe you have to attempt to rectify the situation and move forward accordingly. Unfortunately, because you mentioned your bank account was a joint account, there is nothing you can do directly to stop your husband from taking funds from the same.  Having said that, through the divorce process, you can obtain on Order to prevent this type of dissipation of marital assets in fairly short order.  This Order would prohibit your husband from giving funds away and would also require that he work towards a resolution of the foreclosure problem, whether it be by paying the mortgage arrears or listing the home for sale, to name a few options.  Please understand there are no clear cut remedies without Court intervention and it is important to protect yourself.  I strongly urge you to schedule a consultation with a family law attorney to assess the most effective path forward to protect your assets during the divorce process.

My alimony ends upon remarriage of my ex. Is there public records to determine if he remarried

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question.  I know how worried you must be about the termination of your alimony.  The short answer is yes.  Both marriage applications and records are kept on file with the local municipality that issued either the application or the certification of marriage.  Additionally, there are both statutes and case law that govern your ex-spouses’ obligation to notify you of his/her remarriage and what implications there are if he/she does not notify you.  You should immediately contact an experienced family law attorney to protect your interests and ensure that your rights are preserved.   I hope this information was helpful to you.

Can you be divorced after being widowed?

Rita Jean Jencks
Answered by attorney Rita Jean Jencks (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Jencks Law Firm P.L.L.C.
No, you cannot get or be subsequently divorced from a deceased spouse. There is no need. I don't know what your mother-in-law's motives are except possibly to try to cut you out of your wife's estate and any possible benefits due you based upon her death. Such as an award due to a car wreck or work place injury. I would need more information to more accurately determine that, however, the important thing is you are not eligible for divorce for any reason due to your wife's death. Sorry you are having to face such an issue so soon after your wife's death.
