Re: Trying to attach second wife's assets

The general rule is that: What you brought into the
marriage is your separate property (i.e. stocks, bonds,
CD's) UNLESS you co-mingled the $. So, if you're putting
your $$ in a joint checking account, the ex can go after it.

Anything in your name alone, generally speaking, she can't
touch.

All of the above does not take into consideration any
special laws your state might have on the subject. If
you're worried, you should see an attorney in your state who
can explain your State's laws to you.

foi: What's your objection to your husband being made to
account for his assets in order for the court to make a
determination on child support. Children don't get fed,
clothed and sheltered by wishes and prayers. It takes a lot
of $$$ to support a child. If your husband is paying child
suport for one child and, depending on the child's age, your
husband is paying less than $800.00 a month in New Jersey,
his child is not living a life of luxury.

fwiw: Courts don't care about the subjective (i.e.
vindictiveness). Courts deal in facts -- and, in case of
child support, figures.
