Quoting
Mr. Knowitall
Even if the escrow balance is not explicitly mentioned, it may be covered by more general language in the divorce judgment. Your judgment may also reflect a date upon which you were treating your assets as separate for purpose of their valuation and division. The most common dates selected for valuation and division of property are the date of separation and the date of the judgment, and it is quite possible that with either date most or all of the escrow balance would reasonably be attributed to payments you made out of your own, separate assets.
Is the check issued only to you, or is it joint? Is your question asked in the abstract, or has your ex- asked about the escrow money?
If you had a divorce lawyer who represented you through the divorce, this is a question for your lawyer.
