Legal Question in Family Law in California
Tax
I served my husband with divorce papers in Sept. No community assets were to be used personally until hearing. We filed joint personal income tax in late Oct. The refund was direct deposited without my authorization or knowledge into a personal checking account (the accountants) and used to pay my husband's Corporate and LLC taxes for which I am not part of. I need the money to retain an attorney. It is a very financially abusive (and physically) marriage. What can I do? I do not have an attorney yet. The hearing is in Dec but I need money for food. I am living with a relative who cannot afford to support me.

Re: Tax
Send a demand letter for one-half of the refund.
