I will need the $ to move out for rent, deposit and movers. I have a feeling our house will sell sooner than he thinks.


Hi chicki,

I got more than my share of the combined retirement accounts, but the money was transferred directly from XH's accounts to mine. You need to get a good tax attorney to answer your question, because there are big tax implications if you cash out early.

Good luck. It is irritating that this is so complicated on top of all the emotional pain.

Hugs,
