Filing 4 divorce but reconcile then divorce @ a later time - dividing the property
I never heard of this before but my friend filed for divorce in 89 but reconciled a few months later. Flash forward 20 yrs & she decides to divorce him again. She went back for the kids & tried to make it work. However, when she went 4 this divorce she was told that they could divide the property as if it was 1989. Said since she filed in 89 she could loose everything that they made & did since then. That they might only give her half of the house value that it was in 89 unless she can prove she lived there. She's fighting it & has to bring her kids in court to prove she just moved out. If this is true does that mean when someone who files 4 divorce better have proof that they lived there again if they reconcile should they divorce @ a later date? Better make sure they have bills in their names or charge cards? I didn't think it was a problem esp since it was 20yrs later!
New info about her separation - reconciled
Just talked to her, she said he was served papers back then. And she has papers saying they reconciled 7 mons later! She wanted to be sure you knew he was Served Papers & that she has Reconciled papers Does that make a difference? Being served? I still think it's ridiculous whether he was or wasn't since they didn't go through with it and it was 20 yrs ago. Can't believe he even brought it up.
