Yes you can. You may not win, because once married it's usually classed by law that everything you both own is both of yours to be divided equally. If your spouse only took a bit of furniture and nothing large like the house, sold a new car, etc., then it's not worth going to court over it as the court costs may be on the high side, not to mention your peace of mind. I was married before and my ex drained my bank account of $7,000. I was furious because I had to work a lot of O/T to manage to scrape that money together (my nest egg.) I was in the process of getting a divorce (in Canada) going after him for the money was an entirely different case than our divorce case. Since there was no home or other monies involved I just wanted to get rid of him and get on with life, so I never went after the money. Looking back I'm glad I didn't because it wouldn't have been worth it. The divorce (which should have been an easy one .. no children involved) was dragged out by him and I was mentally and physically exhausted. Good luck Marcy

What a wife gets as a result of divorce depends on the assets you share. Additionally, assets obtained during the marriage needs to be divided.
Refinancing during divorce can help divide assets and liabilities fairly by allowing one spouse to take over the mortgage on a shared property, removing the other spouse's financial responsibility. This can help simplify the division of assets and debts, ensuring a more equitable distribution during the divorce process.
In a divorce, stocks and assets acquired during the marriage are typically divided equitably between the spouses, following state laws and court decisions.
A property agreement between spouses is a legal document that outlines how assets and debts will be divided in the event of a divorce. It can impact the division of assets by specifying which assets are considered separate or marital property, and how they will be distributed between the spouses. This agreement can help clarify ownership rights and prevent disputes during the divorce process.
Separate property in a divorce refers to assets that are owned individually by one spouse before the marriage or acquired through inheritance or gifts during the marriage. Marital property, on the other hand, includes assets acquired during the marriage by either spouse. During the division of assets in a divorce, separate property is typically not subject to division and remains with the original owner, while marital property is divided between the spouses based on various factors such as contributions to the marriage and financial needs.
In divorce settlements, wives typically receive half of the assets as a way to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of marital property. This practice is based on the principle of equal division of assets acquired during the marriage, regardless of who earned the money or property.
