Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: nondisclosure of assets after prenuptual

This time, consult with a lawyer. Based on your statement, your husband may have entered into the pre-nuptial agreement IN BAD FAITH. On that basis a court can void the agreement. Regarding the use by your husband of a joint checking account for purposes you don't agree with, you may want to: 1) segregate your bank funds in a separate account; 2) register or title other property in only your name; 3) discuss with your attorney the use of a revokable trust for your propery, excluding your husband from control of the trust; 4) consult with a marriage counselor since there appear to be underlying relationship issues to be addressed; Remember that delay in addessing these matters may render a remedy very difficult, e.g., gifting of property to his children may not be reversible.
