My question involves a marriage in the state of: WA
{Together 18 years, married 10}
At what point does the requirement to maintain bills/not sell assets start?
The divorce has been filed, and a temporary restraining order served, but due to the TRO, he won't be able to be served with the divorce papers until the TRO court date.
He claims to have been talking to an attorney (who he alleges told him that he would automatically get the house, as he backhandedly left her name off of the deed, BUT has her on the mortgage. (we just found this out)
She is worried about him attempting to sell her vehicle (which is apparently in his name only)
Between now and the point he is served.
(he has a key. She's concerned he will just take it while she's asleep, and although she has the title, he has "friends in high places" where he can get a new title)
I advised her to park the vehicle on private property (unowned by either) where it is behind a locked fence or inside the garage, until service.
That said... Am I correct in assuming that legally, he does not have to abide by this requirement until he is served with it?
Thanks in advance!
