Prenuptial agreements – no income stated?

In the state of Illinois, can a prenuptial agreement be claimed invalid if the spouse did not give full disclosure of his assets or income?




where can i find a free divorce lawyer?

I want a divorce! but i need advice about assets




In a marriage with children, should the law require a transfer of assets and income so that neither husband nor wife is unduly burdened? Should both custodial and non-custodial parents live at, for example, 2 times the poverty level, rather than one parent living at half the poverty level and the other living at 3 times the poverty level?

Should this apply to all divorces, divorces with children only, or neither? For how long after the divorce?




I have an atty, my state is 50/50, however, the fees are escalating from the atty. I know that the only people that make the money is the atty, however, some of my "marital" assets have been moved prior to the "freeze." And, most of those assets are in fine jewelry, diamonds, gems, gold, platinum (we had a fine jewelry business) so that’s now worth about 1/4 M, but now he claims it’s been stolen. I know his son, age 52 took some home in his "carryon" bag.




I entered into "contractual alimony" 3 years ago when my husband,and I, divorced. This was actually property division. My attorney neglected to explain, I didn’t have much recourse for obtaining these payments if my X "appeared bankrupt," and persuaded me to agree to these terms, because of my mounting legal fees (my Xhusband so generously took care of all legal fees related to the divorce.)
We live in Texas and had a very large estate, which, somehow, the vast majority of, was never revealed by my attorneys. I feared at the time of divorce he would do exactly what has now happened. He owns his own business in Texas and throughout the US, as well as worldwide. My xhusband feared I would be asking for a review of the divorce based on fraud. He managed to defraud me out of a huge portion of assets, scattered worldwide. Within the US, assets were strategically placed under the companies he supplies in materials. As part of a network buyer program. He has worked these last 3 years on moving all assets, (pleading a fraudulent bankruptcy) within the US, out of the country "umbrella’d" under an overseas trust we created long ago..during our marriage. (This trust was set up by his German aunt, who has since died.)
He has worked diligently on expanding his overseas business, and arranging numerous new trusts under the one that existed during our marriage (he claimed the trust when his aunt passed, and does not have the ability to close it. Only create more trusts underneath of it. I now know this was done during our seperation.) Obviously, my attorney neglected to ever unveil our "real net worth" during the divorce. These last 3 years he has carefully managed to appear as though he has nearly no assets in the US, or what he does have are "protected assets" under Texas law. He appears totally "busted." Needless to say, I was supposed to be paid over many years for our arranged "contractual alimony," (property division,) and he has stopped all payments. I am struggling at the moment to get a judgment. I am hopeful to gain this at my next court hearing. But, this judgment wonn’t do me a lot of good, unless, I know where to collect overseas assets. I have gained a lot of evidence of these overseas assets, but, I have exhausted my savings in a custody battle. As well as, legal fees related to the divorce. Of course, I always planned to get back in the workforce myself. But, after the turmoil inflicted on myself, and my children (as a result of his abusive ways, and the length of time involved in our agonizing divorce,) I planned these life changes around the "contractual alimony" agreement. I am speaking with various legal professionals, but if anyone would have something to offer I would greatly appreciate it…..Much gratitude:)
