So, I have just about had it with my attorny in Georgia. They take their time to do everything. If it wasn't close to being finished, I would have fired them long ago. The reason I say this is because they didn't follow through completely with this whole QDRO properly and almost cost me alot of money. Because they didn't do what they were supposed to do, the 90-day wait period was lifted and WHN (what's-his-name) could have liquidated everything and walked away with giving me nothing. However, he called to tell me this and then told me he would not "screw" me out of my portion that is due to me. RRRIIIGGGHHHTTT!! I am due half of the value of the 401K with the loan that was taken out added back in. For example, a loan was taken out against his 401K because I had lost my job and we needed the money. The amount borrowed was approximately half the value of the 401K, taken out in Oct. 2008, which funded his trip out of the Country, which was the beginning of the end of my marriage. Anyway, the amount of the loan is added back into this portion that is there, and I am due half of the total amount. His brilliant idea was to liquidate and give me what is due to me, which HE calculated to be approximately $6K. WRONG!! I am due alot more than that, and if I had lost the total amount because of these damn attorney's in GA, I would have been screaming bloody murder!
So, he doesn't know it yet, because I'm not calling him or telling him this, but there has been another 90-day waiting period placed on the 401K and I will now be getting what is owed to me. This has been a long time coming, but I am so thankful to Kathie Jo for helping me with keeping the ball rolling as I have. The Order was signed by the judge on March 1 and the QDRO people have it and have placed a stop on anything that can be done to the 401K. Who's gonna have the last laugh now?!?!
Anyway, I am glad to have one more step under my feet for getting him out of my life. We still have a bill to pay together, but there should be no reason to speak unless there is a huge issue with this bill. Only another 2 years, 9 months left to pay on the bill. Pray that I can keep my sanity if I need to deal with him anymore.
He's not going to be happy about the above. He's planning to liquidate and when he does that, he has to pay the loan back out of HIS portion. He was trying to get me to pay a portion of the loan back if he had liquidated the entire amount. I've already paid my portion by liquidating my own 401K and taking the penalties on it. I am not going to do it again. I refuse and he was going to screw me on making me pay anyway. So, 2 years and 9 months can't come soon enough in my opinion. Not that I am counting the days or anything! LOL!
Hope everyone is doing well. Dr's for me tomorrow. Will post something when I know what is going on. Love to you!

I did nothing you silly girl! You did what you needed to - you know I can't do Ga. stuff - you go girl! Sorry you are having pain, though - my stepsister had back pain most of her life, too - and she ended up having back surgery and she feels so much better. I don't know what her surgery was really, but it was something she needed to do to feel better!
ReplyDeleteAll the same, thank you for your help. I am hoping to not have to have surgery but we will just have to see what happens.
