Did you know that there are things you cannot do once your divorce has been filed? Here is a summary of what you CANNOT do once your divorce is filed, as listed on the Summons. Starting immediately, you and your spouse are restrained from:
1. Removing the minor children of the parties from the state without the prior consent of the other party;
2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for your spouse or the children;
3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party; and
4. Changing estate planning documents. There are some things you can and cannot do, so consult with an attorney before modifying or revoking anything.
