Dear sweetchunk:

Greetings. First, there is no way for her to obtain a division of his retirement accounts unless they have reserved the issues in a court action in North Carolina. He should immediately hire an attorney in Iowa. I do mean IMMEDIATELY!

I have a friend that has been divorced for 8 years. He pays $750 for child support which is not court appointed. Now the ex-wife wants to take him to court for custody, visitation and she wants his retirement money. They were only married for maybe 5-6 years. He was served with papers from her attorney on a visit to Iowa to see the kids. He doesn’t have an attorney yet. How should he respond the letter. He has 20 days to respond.
