I realize that the divorce laws differ from state to state, but in my state, until you have a final agreement and final decree everything is marital property.
So in my state, if TH suddenly has $350,000, even though divorce papers have been filed, KH would still be entitiled to 1/2. It's still all marital property until an agreement is reached.
In my state, I sure as heck would be going after 1/2 of it!! You betcha. And in KH's position, I'd certainly want to know where the $$$ came from.
I don't know if this is legally binding or still done, but when I first went to my attorney to file for divorce (this was about 10 or so years ago) the first thing he did was place a personal ad that read: "I will not be responsible for debts incurred by anyone other than myself." Not sure how binding that is/was or even if it's still done.
