I need legal advice about divorce?
I obtained retirement money from a previous marriage. I opened an account and put the money into it. I have since remarried. If I divorce this man to I have to share that money with him?

good grief, getting rid of the second one too; make sure you stay married to him at least 10 years so you'll get half his pension too......

Well in a NORMAL WORLD of proper laws things may be different. IN your case, to play it safe, I would perhaps suggest asking if you KNOW and TRUST anyone else who you could transfer the money to.(but then you would have to trust them to get the money after the divorce)
I assume you do not have a PRENUPTUAL AGGREEMENT(or whatever it's called).
I mean you could CASH the money or put it all in "prepaid visa cards" or something but you may not want to carry around all that cash and I do not know the details with prepaid visa cards, I just saw the other day on TV that they are selling them.
I am not a LAWYER just someone "thinking thru the scenario"....
I, NEIL(being a guy), I hope you would not TAKE ADVANTAGE of the "man" as you, being a woman, would not wish to be taken advantage of right? I mean maybe your situation is mutual or maybe people need to just LIVE together more often first rather than MARRYING, to see if they really want to get married in the first place... I know that due to apparent constraints of our "messed up" world people woudl sometimes get married for alternative reasons - like raising children or tax rebates or what have you... maybe one day there will be more of a HIGHER CREED for all of us and we can GET TO OUR "number one" a lot quicker.

Yes you will have to share that money as it is a marital asset. If you didn't want to share it in a subsequent divorce you shouldn't have remarried.

No, that account was your asset before you got married. It is not community property.
Hopefully you did not add money to that account while you been married to your current husband, that would have been co-mingling and it would be hard to determine what is your or his, specially if you withdrew money from this account as well.
good luck in your divorce.

Of course, legal advise costs money. However, if you contact a WIC office in your city (woman in crisis), they can direct you to an appropriate counselor.

that's what prenuptual agreements are for.
It depends on where you live and how long you are married. Chances are, yes. You will have to split it with him.
