Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Divorce

She does not have to be in Arizona. However, he will have to properly serve her wherever she is, and he needs to make sure that Arizona has appropriate jurisdiction over her and the case. I recommend he consult with an attorney if he has questions about this process.

How have I waited too long for abandonment or desertion divorce?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by Robert L Willis, Jr (Unclaimed Profile)   |   14 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Michigan is a no fault state meaning that issues of abandonment or desertion will not be considered in the grant of a divorce. These issues may be of concern in a property division but that is not the issue here. You are still married and that marriage will not end until a party files for divorce and that divorce is granted.... Read Answer

What can I do if I was to receive half of my ex-husbands 401k but never received it?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Generally, a 401k is divided by a separate lawyer than the lawyer from the divorce. To divide a 401k, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) must be prepared (by a separate attorney who specializes in this field). This can still be done (I recommend contacting the QDRO attorney sooner rather than later) so long as your ex has not liquidated your share of the 401k account.... Read Answer
