financial question regarding divorce and splitting a trust
I am about to file for divorce. My question is, my wife has a large amount of money in a irrevocable trust in her name and also in another irr. trust in both her name and her brother's name. Can I go after half or do the trusts prohibit me?

Re: financial question regarding divorce and splitting a trust
If you have a divorce lawyer, ask him or her. If you don't, you need to provide a lot more information before I can give any kind of an answer.
Here is the relevant statute available online. If you are representing yourself, you had better understand it. It is too long to include in this reply.
Chapter 208: Section 34 Alimony or assignment of estate; determination of amount; health insurance
