My friend is leaving her husband after 7yrs. of marriage,he recently almost died in hospital and filed a lawsuit,if she leaves and he wins the suit,will she be entitled to any of the money?She is still married and was his caretaker after he came home from hospital,hasn't filed for divorce yet but is expected to leave soon.Thanks so much in advance!

Stay,


Only an attorney can properly advise your friend regarding any assets (or debts) in the marriage in a divorce. I suggest she contact a lawyer and make a list of questions to ask in order to assess her situation.


Divorce laws vary from state to state and there's no blanket answer for your question.
