QUESTION
Can I make him pay alimony and can he just divorce me?
Asked on Apr 26th, 2013 on Divorce - Michigan
More details to this question:
Three years ago, I suffered a nervous breakdown. I am still unable to do much. I can't even get to a doctor’s appointment without emotional outburst and anxiety. I cannot seem to follow through on anything and am almost homeless now. My husband is divorcing me as he says I abandoned him and he would understand it more if it were a physical illness he could see.

You really need an attorney. Please contact a divorce/family law attorney about this. A good divorce attorney should be able to answer these questions and make your ex pay your attorneys fees since he apparently controls all of the money in your marriage. If you cannot find one, contact legal aide.

You'll need an attorney who will have to be informed of all of the circumstances before an opinion can be formed.

Your question is too broad to permit much of an answer here, but generally speaking the grounds for a dissolution petition will be that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no prospect of reconciliation. With respect to spousal maintenance, the grounds are set out in A.R.S. section 25-319. There is no substitute for you consulting with an experienced family law attorney, who can advise you regarding division of assets and debts, and a possible award of spousal maintenance.
