Re: Sold a car; Does he get part of the money?

It depends on whether or not you live in a community property state. Once divorce papers have been filed an automatic temporary restraining order goes into effect, prohibiting either party from selling any of the community property. It is referred to as a breach of fiduciary duty. Some judges may look at it as you completely disregarding their order. And unless there's a court order specifying that you can do these things it is contempt. For further information please see family code sections 721 (b) & 1101 (g) & (h). Please be careful these actions could result in a lot of trouble for you. My husband did it to me by selling the entire contents of our home and all of our family cars and keeping every profit.
