Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

husbans lawyer

I dropped a restraining orer against my husbank after we agreed to turns outlined in a court agreement. My husband and I both had lawyers. In our agreement my husband was not to touch his 401K money and his lawyer was to write a letter to the company letting them know account was to be frozen due to a divorce. The letter wa never written the account was not frozen my busband took all the money out and gambled away every penny. We are almost done with our divorce but I feel if she would of done her job and wrote the letter we would of had the 401K money still today. My husband has not paid support for the last 1/12 yrs. If there was extra money 401K money maybe I could of gotton extra college money for the kids. Pls et me know what you think thanks so much

Sounds like you got screwed to put it bluntly. I'm not sure how much could be done now, I would need to see what is left. However, I don't think the letter was the big issue in this case as a letter is not really needed as the law should protect you. Of course, you need a good attorney to enforce the law.

Sounds like your husband is in violation of an agreement and has dissipated marital assets. I would need more information to see what can be done, but an offset against other assets may be an option.
