Legal Question in Family Law in California

My wife filed for divorce after 19.5 years of marriage on 7/20/06. She resides in the family home and was to have bought me out and never has. She was the higher wage earner throughout the marriage. Recently she provided through discovery document to me that her 401 K and retirement account totalled $607,700. However in recent court proceedings in judges chambers her attorney said that she had paid off all her credit card debt and subsequently provided new discovery documents to me indicating that she only has $300,000.00 in other assets. I believe she has withdrawn a large amount of money from her retirement account prior to assett distribution which is a direct violation of the restraining order imposed on both her and I in the original divorce papers filed here in California. What do I need to do to get this exposed in a court of law next month and what are her penalties and any applicable to her attorney for knowing this ?

Is there any particular reason, with so much money involved, that you do not have an attorney?

You need an attorney. If you cannot afford one, it is highly likely your wife would be ordered to help pay for one.
