I was married a couple years ago and our married filing jointly 2010 IRS tax return was offset for my wife's premarital defaulted student loan. We live in Missouri. The debt collectors are calling me. I have assets that would cover the debt but would wipe me out financially. She had withheld this information from me about this premarital debt. She makes no money and has no assets. I have kept the bank accounts and home (all assets) in my name. She has child support checks that I have placed into my account. Would that make that account (and everyone downstream) a marital asset? What is my exposure/risk to the remaining assets? I let her use my credit and debt cards – Would that put those accounts attached to those at risk? If I have risk that needs to be mitigated what kind of expert would I consult? Can I get back the IRS offset?

I am in a family law case where my ex filed a false domestic violence order to prevent me from seeing my kids and starting my bail bonds business. I was never convicted because there was no crime or proof, but I had to relinquish my firearms and ammo. The judge has a copy of the registered owner's declaration stating that the gun was returned before the DV order was served. What can I do to obtain my firearms permit and guard card, and how can I address this situation in family court to see my kids and start my business?
