Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex wife received $5000 as a gift prior to us being divorced. She did not list it as an asset on her form when she filed for divorced. An I entitled to half of that money?

Depends on who the gift was from and why and when she received it, but it is likely you are entitled to reopen your divorce and claim your half of the $5,000. You should speak to an attorney.
If the gift was some type of inheritance it is not marital property, if the person making the gift intended that it be only for her, unlikely the court will declare it to be marital property.
Depends on two issues. One--how long ago was the F.J. entered? Two--where did the money come from? And did the two of you use any of that $? If my office can be of assistance in No. Fla., pls. give us a call. Tom Rosenblum
