- Q. Can my ex husband sue me for taking everything when I moved out if nothing was contested in court?
- A: Hi there,
You ask a great question. Let me first say that I am glad you are reaching out for professional assistance. Times like this are often some of the most uncertain and fraught with perceptibly difficult-to-navigate circumstances. I commend you for searching for resources and input.
