It s important that you contact a qualified family lawyer in your community to advise you as to your specific situation. Under Ohio law, a court can t modify a division of property after a divorce. But if the parties remarry, the property may once again become marital property and be subject to division on a second divorce. A court may also look to the first marriage when determining the length of the marriage in the second divorce. Ohio law allows the court to equitably decide the duration of the marriage for the purposes of valuing the marital property.
Laws regarding marital property rights vary from state to state.
You ll want to consult with a qualified local family lawyer if you re considering divorcing a second time. I ve been receiving notice from the IRS concerning tax returns that were filed when I was married to my ex-husband. He always handled the finances and I really have no idea what any of the problems are. Since July 1998, federal tax law has included innocent spouse relief. Under this law, if a taxpayer files a joint tax return but then divorces, legally separates, or lives apart from his or her spouse for one year, he or she can elect separate liability if he or she can prove that the liability is due to the other spouse.
