Can I get my money back
I got married oct.5 in Hawaii and I live
in Colorado. My husband decided to
retire and sent his social security
papers in before marriage and I found
out after. We talked about it but I did
not know he did it. I paid off the
mortgage on his home with the sell of
mine. I have been out a lot of money. I
work two jobs and he is sitting home.
There is other issues but what are my
chanc3s of getting my money so I can
move

There are a LOT of "ifs" here that you will need to sit with an attorney and go over in order to be able to decisde if the funds are recoverable in a divorce situation. So when you paid off his house was it with the intent that it becamse the marital home? Was your name placed on the deed? So if it were sold you would be able to trace the funds from the sale of your separate property to show the court? See where this is going? Get help. Good luck.
