Re: Trust Info

This requires many more facts to answer properly. In any event, you should consult with a responsible, experienced divorce attorney. The answer will depend upon who created the trust, who the beneficiaries are, how the trust was used during marriage, and many other factors. It is not something which could readily be answered here without you revealing confidential information it would not be in your best interests to reveal.

Re: Trust Info

Under some circumstances, yes. You need to bring a copy of the trust along with the rest of your financial information to a good divorce attorney in order to receive clearer advice.
