Legal Question in Family Law in California

Division of Stocks

We are going through the divorce process for two years now. It came to my notice that my (ex) wife sold her stocks account (worth more than 100K), which was a community property. I have written two times to her lawyer to give me half of the stocks. However, there was no reponse. I filed a motion in the court to give me half of the stocks. Is it a wrong thing to ask (before the final settlement)? The other lawyer is threatening me with sanction because of unnecessary burdensome litigation. Should I continue with my motion or should I take it back? The reason I want it now is because they are trying everything to delay the final settlement as much as they could. It could probably take years.

Re: Division of Stocks

You need to have that money put into receivership so that it is not wasted. Not unnecessary.
