asking_for_myself_32 OP

Honestly, has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are sadly.

high-asset divorce property division. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Oh god, another one of these.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
