Legal advice on Dividing assets in a divorce

My mother and father were married in Guanajuato, Mexico in 1987 when my mother was 17 years old and my father was 28 years old. My maternal grandfather consented to the marriage. Their marriage certificate does have the box checked for "separacion de bienes", which to my understanding means the property of each spouse is considered to be separate property and is not subject to division in the event of divorce or the death of one of the spouses. My mother was underage at the time of the marriage and did not understand what that meant and her father (my maternal grandfather) was illiterate and did not know or understand either. They immigrated to the USA in 1990 and have lived together in California, Texas, and South Carolina for 30 years. They seperated a few years ago and my father decided to go to Mexico to divorce her without my mother knowing in order to avoid my mother fighting for the property they own together. The divorce was granted. What rights does my mother have in terms of property they own together now? Property is in both of their names in South Carolina.

I never seen the person I’m married to since the day we got married and that was in 2014

She has been hiding assets for years.I just want my 50 percent.

I’ve lended someone two times by $19,000 and $15,000, for total of $34,000, promissory note was made by the time money lended, it was back on 2019 and 2020. Recently I’ve contacted borrower requesting a payment, things turns to difficult and frustrating. By the first time I called, I was told can be payback slowly, after that, instead of working on paying back slowly, I was blocked, phone call never went through, email also has no reply. I want to know in this situation, may I still able to, or how I can get the principal (money lended) back.

If we use a Mediator, and things are then settled between me and my spouse, so we still have to go before a judge? Will our divorce be "rubber stamped" approved after the mediation agreement between me and my spouse? Is there a chance that the judge will not agree with the mediator & our agreement and then will the judge determine the division of property, assets, etc? Thank you.

Owned large block of stock for a company that was sold to Google. Most of the stocks were RSU and held for well over 2 years I am in process of a divorce, most of the stock was granted after the divorce separation so unclear how much of the stock is community property. How can I minimize the tax obligation.

I live in Ny and am buying a property in FL. I’ll be using my own money for the Down payment and will be taking a loan on my own. How can I exclude my spouse from owning this property?

My husband of 13 years left me for another woman. He says I can have almost everything, he just wants a quick divorce. Is there a way that we can just fill out a division agreement and then file for divorce. He even agrees that I can hire the attorney and he will agree with what they say.

My spouse and me are living in a house since the past two years. The house is in my name and I am the one paying mortgage. We are contemplating separating and wanted to know if my spouse can claim the proceeds from the sale if I sell it before filing for divorce?

My husband has had multiple affairs during our 10 year marriage. I am ready to file for divorce and plan to do so at the beginning of next week. He has abandoned the marriage and has been living at a separate location for months, but he has ignored my requests that he move his belongings. I do not have a forwarding address for him, and he does not return my calls or emails. My only knowledge of his current circumstances comes from the scant information that his parents have shared with me. I earn a small but regular income as a freelance writer and there is a "paper trail" for my income as I contract with a few established companies who handle client payments for my work. My husband and I have always had separate bank accounts. The money in my account is solely my earnings. On a whim, I recently invested several hundred dollars of my own earnings into "meme stock". My husband and I were already estranged and he had absolutely no input in my choice to invest. That stock has more than doubled in value and much larger gains are anticipated in the near future. If those anticipated large gains become a reality before the divorce is final will he be able to take half of my earnings?
