Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
In my community property settlement i was awarded the rights to my ex-husbands IRA, pension, 401K accounts. For one of the accounts, a mutual fund 401K, I had to submit the settlement papers and divorce papers along with a letter of instruction from myself. The company is now telling me that they have sent a letter to my ex for him to sign releasing the monies. They informed me there is no set time limit on this, is this correct and why should they have to get his signature when they have the settlement papers?

It may be a company policy to prohibit one party from using orders that may have been countermanded. You can have the Court order compliance if necessary.
