that means wonderbread. But now they've dropped a line featuring donuts,
honey buns, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls into grocery stores. I'm

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay, and again, if you have a question for Rick,
he is here eight hundred and two five two five.
We'll start with Paul and Renton.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Hello, Paul, Hey, I Rick god saying, so I've been
divorced three times, and I just I never learned, and
so I.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It sounds like I should be a big fan people. Sorry, sorry,
paula a little joke. You said you've been divorced three times,
and I said, well, then I'm a big fan anyway,
Sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
No, no, no, no, you're the man.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I just wanted to know if you could tell people
one thing going into marriage, what would the thing be.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Hey, great question. Yeah. The key is, no, know what
marriage is. I mean, understand it. It's it's not just
a romantic while I want to take whatever whatever steps
I can in a relationship, it's it's creating a legal bond,
a legal entanglement if you look at the half empty side.
But you know, the key is just just understand what
(06:56):
happens while you're married over the course of time. So
that if and when God forbid you have to call
somebody like me, you're not shocked when you when you
hear how the law operates. So do your homework. Understand
what you're doing. It's a contract, Paul.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do you think you'll get married again?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm a romantic.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I hope.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
So I got to learn what.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It is, all right?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, yes, learn what it is. You probably now have
a little bit of the law knowledge. But to Rick's point,
you know a lot of people when they call in
to talk with you eight hundred and two five two
five are shocked to learn, like, oh, I have to
split everything. We never got married and I still have
to split everything. Thanks for the call, Paul. Good luck
(07:41):
to you in your romantic endeavors. Drew isn't kent you
are on with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
What you got Drew?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Hey, how's it going great?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So I just found out I have a kid from
a very briefling.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Like ten years ago.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So like basically what I'm asking it's like, are you
telling me I may have to pay like eighteen years
worth of child support?
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I mean, first of all, tough one. You know you're
not going to be on the hook for you know,
for the ten years back, because she could have found you.
I'm almost surprised they didn't when there could have been
a support obligation ten years back. Have you gone through
the process of a paternity test.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, it's pretty much conclusive that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It's done, done deal, Okay. And who's driving this ship?
Is the state coming after you?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Who's trying to get the money from Timy Drew?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I'm not sure yet, Like I haven't been served per se,
but I'm wondering, like, can I fight this with a lawyer?
Like what should I do?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Yeah, well, you'll definitely want to get an attorney looking
at this and on board with you, because again, there's
nothing to stop them from asking for back support for
a number of years, and so you want somebody that
already knows the law, that can be able to talk
and negotiate with them and say, hey, listen, you know
obviously if I'm this child's father, yes you're going to
(09:10):
have a support obligation going forward. But the whole goal
here is to try and mitigate backwards. And then, of course,
what we haven't talked about is whether or not you
want to attempt a relationship with this child that's now
ten years old. You know, it's something that's going to
be tough to do to try and integrate or reintegrate.
At the same time, you know you've got the rest
(09:30):
of your lifetime to get to know this child.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Man, that's heavy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So you don't think Rick, that Drew is going to
get like a bill in the mail for the past
ten years of child support.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah. I don't think Drew's going to be on the
hook for about one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, well that's probably what's on Drew's mind. You find
out that ten years of child support, like that's a panic.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, that would be bad.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
If you have a question for Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones,
he is here in studio right now eight hundred two
I have two one two five. Rick Jones knows everything
about divorce and family los So if you've got a question,
now is the time to call. Eight hundred and two
five two one five Ray and Marysville. You are on
with Rick.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Bring it Ray.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Hi you bet So.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
I have a child with my ex wife and she
has custody and she just moved and she left our
kid with her mom. I only had a kid once
a month because of our work schedule. But now that
she's basically just dumping our child with her mom, I'd
like to get custody, but I'm wondering if I have
(10:39):
grounds to do that now, and if.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So, how well it certainly sounds like a couple of
questions I've got for you. When when you said she moved,
where did she move to? Uh, she moved to a
different city, Okay, in Washington, yes, okay. How many miles away?
Approximately about twenty miles okay? And how old is the child? Eight? Okay,
(11:06):
So the child's in school and the expectation is staying
in the same school that the child's always been correct, correct? Okay? Well,
you know, first of all, to ever change or modify
a parenting plan, which is what you have right now.
Your rule book requires what's called a substantial change and circumstance,
and you've got it. So the door to the court
(11:27):
is certainly open for you. And what you call it
is a modification of a parenting plan, and that's the
name of the action.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The one thing to watch out for is what her
side of the argument. If she chooses to make an
argument because you definitely have rights well beyond her mother.
So you prevail over a grandmother unless there's some circumstances
I'm not aware of. But the thing to be aware of,
I guess is whether or not her argument is, hey, listen,
I've had to make this move for work reasons, whatever reasons,
(11:59):
and I've left the child with my mom to be
able to finish out the school year. That would be,
you know, her best argument. And even then you've got
a very good argument to say, well, hey listen, this
child should be with me during this period of time.
So again, courtroom door open to you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
All right, Good luck to you, Ray, And they probably
want to call one eight hundred divorce and get ahold
of Rick Jones. But Rick is here in studio right
now taking your calls. And Kevin in Seattle, you are
up next.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Hey Kevin, good morning, sir, Good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So my question is I have I've been married.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Forty years.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I guess you know my house is paid for d
I just was wondering, what is watch the state. It's
a fifty to fifty state, correct.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So Kevin, you're you're heading for divorce and you don't
really know much about it is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Is that what I'm getting here?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, yeah, you know, let me jump in and tell
you that it's not called a fifty to fifty state.
They don't, that's not the terminology they use. But it
is what's called a community property state. And what that
means is that whatever the two of you have accumulated
over those forty years, there's a presumption that it's shared
and shared alike. So if it ever needs to be
(13:26):
divvied up, the courts look at the circumstances and fifty
to fifty is actually probably a pretty good starting point.
So that's the assumption or presumption. And then the question
is whether or not there's an argument that it should
be slanted in favor of either you or her. And
the only way that it should be slanted, and I'm
going to come back to acond second thought, but the
only way it should be slanted if there's a significant
(13:48):
disparity of income between the two of you. You know,
let's say you make one hundred and fifty two hundred
thousand dollars and she doesn't work or hasn't been working,
So that's the only reason it shifts off. And of
course then there's an issue of spousal support if that
exists as well. The only other caveat I want to
throw to this is I talked about community property. It's
(14:09):
also possible over the course of the time, over the
course of time that either you or she has what's
called separate property if you've ever received an inheritance or
a very specific gift that you've been able to keep
separate let's say your own account after a parent passed away,
So that would really be the exception. But fifty to
fifty is a good starting points. We've come full circle for.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You, all right, Kevin, Sorry, forty years is a long
time to be married. Kelly and Tumwater, you were on
with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones Divorce for Men.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Hi Kelly, Hi II. I married a man who had
a house before we've were married, and now we're divorcing.
Am I entitled to any of the equity in the house. Yeah,
it depends how long were you married? Fourteen years? Okay,
it's a pretty significant time. A couple of things. Let's
go back to the starting point. The day you got married.
(15:02):
The equity that he had in that house is presumed
to be his separate property. So then the concept is
going forward. Well, those the mortgages over the course of
those fourteen years has been paid with community property. It's
been paid out of his income, which is community property.
So yes, you've made inroads into the equity that's been
(15:22):
increased there. One of the bigger issues is whether or
not you deserve and this is an argument to make
whether or not you deserve a share of the investment
increase associated with that as well, in other words, the
increase in housing prices, not just the paydown of principle.
And then the other aspect is whether or not the
two of you have ever refinanced and cashed out as well.
(15:43):
So the process that you're going to have somebody go through,
and you really should have an attorney look at this
is what's called tracing. Let's figure out what is the
best argument to make for your share of the existing equity.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
All right, good luck to you, Kelly, and you can
call Rick Jones at one eight hundred Divorce.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And let's see. We've got Alex in p Wallop.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Hello Alex.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Two.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, Alex, your phone is breaking up. Where did you go?
Try again, you hear me? Try again. Let's see if
we can hear you.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Is that a little better?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Uh yeah, So I'm basically I'm looking to get divorced.
There are stages she uh, I had a kid with
someone else. Oh, I just want to know how this
is going to affect the splitting of assets, and you know, pay.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Sure, I think I can jump in. I think I
gathered enough. The answert yes, no kidding. Uh yeah. My
understanding is he's in a situation where's he's been married
looking to get divorced, but he's also fairly recently had
a child by another person outside of his marriage. And
so the first question I think you had was whether
(17:02):
or not this affects the terms of a divorce in general,
and the answers no. Washington's what's called a no fault state,
So you know, regardless of what somebody may think, whatever,
you know, morality issues they bring to it, it's not
going to affect the division of assets and liabilities. The
one thing it does affect, and arguably this is even
good news for you, is that there's a recognition that
(17:25):
if you have a support obligation for another child, even
though it's outside the marriage, the calculation of the support
for any child you have of the marriage is affected.
In other words, the concept of supporting two children is
a little bit more efficient on a per child basis
than it would be paying full support for one child.
(17:45):
So that's the one thing that you want to make
sure somebody takes into consideration. But the answer to your
question is no, it does not affect division of assets
and liabilities.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, so it doesn't matter that you stepped out on
your marriage. It's all going to get divided up the
same way.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I guess he's he's getting divorced.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good luck, Alex, and let's see we've got time for
a couple more calls here, Christy in Seattle, you're on
with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Morning, Christy, Hi, Hi, Sorry for such a serious question.
But if you're going to be fighting for custody of
your child, does it help if the father has an
assault on his record? You know this, this happened before
we were married, but I'm hoping somehow it will go
(18:34):
against him.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, how old is your child?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Six?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
All right? And has there ever been any issues of
domestic violence between the two of you?
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Not physical, you know, but verbal?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah? Okay? Well, and you know arguments arguments that include
what has had happen while you've been married are going
to be more relevant than a prior criminal charge on this,
especially if the assault wasn't of a domestic variety. So
I really wouldn't give that much weight. I don't see
(19:13):
it being much help in your argument. It doesn't mean
that you don't mention it though, right, So, especially in
close calls, you want to you know, put his you know,
many straws into the cup, so to speak to to
try and improve your odds.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
All right, good luck to you, Christy.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We had a caller just drop off who said his
wife spent all of his inheritance money at a casino.
Can he recoup that money when that comes to divorce?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Ouch?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah? Why did she have the keys of that bank account?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Well, let's roll with this since we don't have him
on the line to correct us. But I'm going to
start with the assumption that this money was in some
sort of a separate account, so he was doing everything
right to keep it as a piece of separate property,
and that she you know, goes in and and and
pilfer's it this way, then he certainly can have an
argument that it was a waste of his separate property,
(20:06):
so to be able to trace it back. Now, if
this happened five years ago and he's divorcing, now, no,
that's not going to happen. You know, it's been washed away.
But if this has recently happened, and this becomes the
fire starter for him initiating a divorce, then there certainly
is an argument. I think the courts would take that
into consideration.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now, if he hadn't kept it in a separate account
and so say it will just make a magic number
fifty thousand dollars and the fifty thousand dollars went into
their joint bank account, does that make that whole thing
null and void?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Well, what it certainly does is it wipes away the
concept of that being separate property. Because again, the tracing,
it's kind of like you know, throwing something into a river.
It flows downstream really quickly and it changes its character.
So it changes that. But you know, coming back to
what I mentioned earlier, the concept of waste, I said
waste of separate property, there's an argument to be made
that somebody could waste community properties similarly. Okay, so again, hey,
(21:02):
I just discovered that our community count's have been rated
and we're now fifty thousand dollars less than we were
due to You know, look, I can prove this. She
was at the casino, so there's an argument to be
made there as well.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So even if it was community property, he could potentially
recoup some of this money.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, it's certainly an argument to make with a possibility
of success, even better if it was still separate property.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
All right, Well, the number to call is one eight
hundred divorce or a go online to Goldberg Jones dot com.
If you didn't get through, Rick will be here the
first Wednesday of every month, taken your calls. But he
also I think sometimes people are afraid to make the
call to your office, Rick, that you will talk to
people and they're not going to get a bill. You
have a consultation and people can get some information.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Yeah. Back to how we open this the show today,
which is I just wish people knew more so that
they could make sound decisions. So if you've got questions,
give us a call.

It's hard to beat a grilled cheese, and for many
that means wonderbread. But now they've dropped a line featuring donuts,
honey buns, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls into grocery stores. I'm

Okay, and again, if you have a question for Rick,
he is here eight hundred and two five two five.
We'll start with Paul and Renton.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Hello, Paul, Hey, I Rick god saying, so I've been
divorced three times, and I just I never learned, and
so I.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It sounds like I should be a big fan people. Sorry, sorry,
paula a little joke. You said you've been divorced three times,
and I said, well, then I'm a big fan anyway,
Sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
No, no, no, no, you're the man.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I just wanted to know if you could tell people
one thing going into marriage, what would the thing be.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Hey, great question. Yeah. The key is, no, know what
marriage is. I mean, understand it. It's it's not just
a romantic while I want to take whatever whatever steps
I can in a relationship, it's it's creating a legal bond,
a legal entanglement if you look at the half empty side.
But you know, the key is just just understand what
(06:56):
happens while you're married over the course of time. So
that if and when God forbid you have to call
somebody like me, you're not shocked when you when you
hear how the law operates. So do your homework. Understand
what you're doing. It's a contract, Paul.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do you think you'll get married again?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm a romantic.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I hope.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
So I got to learn what.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It is, all right?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, yes, learn what it is. You probably now have
a little bit of the law knowledge. But to Rick's point,
you know a lot of people when they call in
to talk with you eight hundred and two five two
five are shocked to learn, like, oh, I have to
split everything. We never got married and I still have
to split everything. Thanks for the call, Paul. Good luck
(07:41):
to you in your romantic endeavors. Drew isn't kent you
are on with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
What you got Drew?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Hey, how's it going great?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So I just found out I have a kid from
a very briefling.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Like ten years ago.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So like basically what I'm asking it's like, are you
telling me I may have to pay like eighteen years
worth of child support?
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I mean, first of all, tough one. You know you're
not going to be on the hook for you know,
for the ten years back, because she could have found you.
I'm almost surprised they didn't when there could have been
a support obligation ten years back. Have you gone through
the process of a paternity test.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, it's pretty much conclusive that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It's done, done deal, Okay. And who's driving this ship?
Is the state coming after you?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Who's trying to get the money from Timy Drew?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I'm not sure yet, Like I haven't been served per se,
but I'm wondering, like, can I fight this with a lawyer?
Like what should I do?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Yeah, well, you'll definitely want to get an attorney looking
at this and on board with you, because again, there's
nothing to stop them from asking for back support for
a number of years, and so you want somebody that
already knows the law, that can be able to talk
and negotiate with them and say, hey, listen, you know
obviously if I'm this child's father, yes you're going to
(09:10):
have a support obligation going forward. But the whole goal
here is to try and mitigate backwards. And then, of course,
what we haven't talked about is whether or not you
want to attempt a relationship with this child that's now
ten years old. You know, it's something that's going to
be tough to do to try and integrate or reintegrate.
At the same time, you know you've got the rest
(09:30):
of your lifetime to get to know this child.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Man, that's heavy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So you don't think Rick, that Drew is going to
get like a bill in the mail for the past
ten years of child support.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah. I don't think Drew's going to be on the
hook for about one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, well that's probably what's on Drew's mind. You find
out that ten years of child support, like that's a panic.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, that would be bad.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
If you have a question for Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones,
he is here in studio right now eight hundred two
I have two one two five. Rick Jones knows everything
about divorce and family los So if you've got a question,
now is the time to call. Eight hundred and two
five two one five Ray and Marysville. You are on
with Rick.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Bring it Ray.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Hi you bet So.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
I have a child with my ex wife and she
has custody and she just moved and she left our
kid with her mom. I only had a kid once
a month because of our work schedule. But now that
she's basically just dumping our child with her mom, I'd
like to get custody, but I'm wondering if I have
(10:39):
grounds to do that now, and if.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So, how well it certainly sounds like a couple of
questions I've got for you. When when you said she moved,
where did she move to? Uh, she moved to a
different city, Okay, in Washington, yes, okay. How many miles away?
Approximately about twenty miles okay? And how old is the child? Eight? Okay,
(11:06):
So the child's in school and the expectation is staying
in the same school that the child's always been correct, correct? Okay? Well,
you know, first of all, to ever change or modify
a parenting plan, which is what you have right now.
Your rule book requires what's called a substantial change and circumstance,
and you've got it. So the door to the court
(11:27):
is certainly open for you. And what you call it
is a modification of a parenting plan, and that's the
name of the action.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The one thing to watch out for is what her
side of the argument. If she chooses to make an
argument because you definitely have rights well beyond her mother.
So you prevail over a grandmother unless there's some circumstances
I'm not aware of. But the thing to be aware of,
I guess is whether or not her argument is, hey, listen,
I've had to make this move for work reasons, whatever reasons,
(11:59):
and I've left the child with my mom to be
able to finish out the school year. That would be,
you know, her best argument. And even then you've got
a very good argument to say, well, hey listen, this
child should be with me during this period of time.
So again, courtroom door open to you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
All right, Good luck to you, Ray, And they probably
want to call one eight hundred divorce and get ahold
of Rick Jones. But Rick is here in studio right
now taking your calls. And Kevin in Seattle, you are
up next.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Hey Kevin, good morning, sir, Good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So my question is I have I've been married.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Forty years.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I guess you know my house is paid for d
I just was wondering, what is watch the state. It's
a fifty to fifty state, correct.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So Kevin, you're you're heading for divorce and you don't
really know much about it is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Is that what I'm getting here?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, yeah, you know, let me jump in and tell
you that it's not called a fifty to fifty state.
They don't, that's not the terminology they use. But it
is what's called a community property state. And what that
means is that whatever the two of you have accumulated
over those forty years, there's a presumption that it's shared
and shared alike. So if it ever needs to be
(13:26):
divvied up, the courts look at the circumstances and fifty
to fifty is actually probably a pretty good starting point.
So that's the assumption or presumption. And then the question
is whether or not there's an argument that it should
be slanted in favor of either you or her. And
the only way that it should be slanted, and I'm
going to come back to acond second thought, but the
only way it should be slanted if there's a significant
(13:48):
disparity of income between the two of you. You know,
let's say you make one hundred and fifty two hundred
thousand dollars and she doesn't work or hasn't been working,
So that's the only reason it shifts off. And of
course then there's an issue of spousal support if that
exists as well. The only other caveat I want to
throw to this is I talked about community property. It's
(14:09):
also possible over the course of the time, over the
course of time that either you or she has what's
called separate property if you've ever received an inheritance or
a very specific gift that you've been able to keep
separate let's say your own account after a parent passed away,
So that would really be the exception. But fifty to
fifty is a good starting points. We've come full circle for.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You, all right, Kevin, Sorry, forty years is a long
time to be married. Kelly and Tumwater, you were on
with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones Divorce for Men.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Hi Kelly, Hi II. I married a man who had
a house before we've were married, and now we're divorcing.
Am I entitled to any of the equity in the house. Yeah,
it depends how long were you married? Fourteen years? Okay,
it's a pretty significant time. A couple of things. Let's
go back to the starting point. The day you got married.
(15:02):
The equity that he had in that house is presumed
to be his separate property. So then the concept is
going forward. Well, those the mortgages over the course of
those fourteen years has been paid with community property. It's
been paid out of his income, which is community property.
So yes, you've made inroads into the equity that's been
(15:22):
increased there. One of the bigger issues is whether or
not you deserve and this is an argument to make
whether or not you deserve a share of the investment
increase associated with that as well, in other words, the
increase in housing prices, not just the paydown of principle.
And then the other aspect is whether or not the
two of you have ever refinanced and cashed out as well.
(15:43):
So the process that you're going to have somebody go through,
and you really should have an attorney look at this
is what's called tracing. Let's figure out what is the
best argument to make for your share of the existing equity.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
All right, good luck to you, Kelly, and you can
call Rick Jones at one eight hundred Divorce.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And let's see. We've got Alex in p Wallop.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Hello Alex.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Two.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, Alex, your phone is breaking up. Where did you go?
Try again, you hear me? Try again. Let's see if
we can hear you.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Is that a little better?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Uh yeah, So I'm basically I'm looking to get divorced.
There are stages she uh, I had a kid with
someone else. Oh, I just want to know how this
is going to affect the splitting of assets, and you know, pay.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Sure, I think I can jump in. I think I
gathered enough. The answert yes, no kidding. Uh yeah. My
understanding is he's in a situation where's he's been married
looking to get divorced, but he's also fairly recently had
a child by another person outside of his marriage. And
so the first question I think you had was whether
(17:02):
or not this affects the terms of a divorce in general,
and the answers no. Washington's what's called a no fault state,
So you know, regardless of what somebody may think, whatever,
you know, morality issues they bring to it, it's not
going to affect the division of assets and liabilities. The
one thing it does affect, and arguably this is even
good news for you, is that there's a recognition that
(17:25):
if you have a support obligation for another child, even
though it's outside the marriage, the calculation of the support
for any child you have of the marriage is affected.
In other words, the concept of supporting two children is
a little bit more efficient on a per child basis
than it would be paying full support for one child.
(17:45):
So that's the one thing that you want to make
sure somebody takes into consideration. But the answer to your
question is no, it does not affect division of assets
and liabilities.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, so it doesn't matter that you stepped out on
your marriage. It's all going to get divided up the
same way.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I guess he's he's getting divorced.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good luck, Alex, and let's see we've got time for
a couple more calls here, Christy in Seattle, you're on
with Rick Jones of Goldberg Jones.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Morning, Christy, Hi, Hi, Sorry for such a serious question.
But if you're going to be fighting for custody of
your child, does it help if the father has an
assault on his record? You know this, this happened before
we were married, but I'm hoping somehow it will go
(18:34):
against him.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, how old is your child?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Six?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
All right? And has there ever been any issues of
domestic violence between the two of you?
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Not physical, you know, but verbal?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah? Okay? Well, and you know arguments arguments that include
what has had happen while you've been married are going
to be more relevant than a prior criminal charge on this,
especially if the assault wasn't of a domestic variety. So
I really wouldn't give that much weight. I don't see
(19:13):
it being much help in your argument. It doesn't mean
that you don't mention it though, right, So, especially in
close calls, you want to you know, put his you know,
many straws into the cup, so to speak to to
try and improve your odds.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
All right, good luck to you, Christy.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We had a caller just drop off who said his
wife spent all of his inheritance money at a casino.
Can he recoup that money when that comes to divorce?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Ouch?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah? Why did she have the keys of that bank account?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Well, let's roll with this since we don't have him
on the line to correct us. But I'm going to
start with the assumption that this money was in some
sort of a separate account, so he was doing everything
right to keep it as a piece of separate property,
and that she you know, goes in and and and
pilfer's it this way, then he certainly can have an
argument that it was a waste of his separate property,
(20:06):
so to be able to trace it back. Now, if
this happened five years ago and he's divorcing, now, no,
that's not going to happen. You know, it's been washed away.
But if this has recently happened, and this becomes the
fire starter for him initiating a divorce, then there certainly
is an argument. I think the courts would take that
into consideration.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now, if he hadn't kept it in a separate account
and so say it will just make a magic number
fifty thousand dollars and the fifty thousand dollars went into
their joint bank account, does that make that whole thing
null and void?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Well, what it certainly does is it wipes away the
concept of that being separate property. Because again, the tracing,
it's kind of like you know, throwing something into a river.
It flows downstream really quickly and it changes its character.
So it changes that. But you know, coming back to
what I mentioned earlier, the concept of waste, I said
waste of separate property, there's an argument to be made
that somebody could waste community properties similarly. Okay, so again, hey,
(21:02):
I just discovered that our community count's have been rated
and we're now fifty thousand dollars less than we were
due to You know, look, I can prove this. She
was at the casino, so there's an argument to be
made there as well.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So even if it was community property, he could potentially
recoup some of this money.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, it's certainly an argument to make with a possibility
of success, even better if it was still separate property.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
All right, Well, the number to call is one eight
hundred divorce or a go online to Goldberg Jones dot com.
