He did NOT have a financial guardian during our marriage. He is trying to get one now. I can't imagine what the is telling them the reason he needs one. He's trying to say he has a learning disability and comprehension problems. NONE of which is documented medically.
He never wanted to handle the finances as he said it stressed him out and was too difficult and I never argued as it was just easier to do it than argue about trying to get him to handle anything.
I think he thinks if he gets a financial guardian now, that it will help him get financial things from our divorce overturned.???

so far he has formally not done anything. He has said that he didn't "comprehend" what was going on with the money.
I don't know what he will admit to or not admit to regarding the withdrawls from his 401K. I assume the way he threatens me, that he is going to say he did not ask for the withdrawl. I find that hard to believe it will stand up though.
All checks were deposited into the joint account we had. He had access to the account and used the money as well. And yes, the money was used for marital obligations. Bills, etc. accrued during the marriage.
Our divorce was final in October 2013. No the issues were not raised during the divorce. He signed the paperwork to relinquish his rights (equity in our home) I agreed to waive my right to half of his 401K. (We are in IL).
I'm just confused on how he can come back after the fact and say he didn't understand what was happening. It was a very simple divorce process. We represented ourselves. Filled out the form. Listed what each of us was taking or not taking.
He signed it. The judge asked me questions. Then the judge asked him if he agreed with all my answers and he said yes.
He also is now blathering on about how he is now going to come back at me for a claim on the house. I just don't understand how he can PROVE he didn't understand. Am I missing something? He must be telling his lawyer some whoppers to get anyone to say he has a chance at this??
You should request copies of the bank statements for that joint account for the periods of April, May and June. Then you will be able to prove that the money was deposited into your joint account and used to pay bills.
