Asked on Jan 06th, 2014 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
We were married for 25 years and went through a lot with him and since 2011. Two children are 14 and 16. They watch him when I work. We live from his $852 SSA Kids each, $92 SSA and I work part time waiting $1000 waiting for fulltime. It is getting too much for me. I am looking for a nursing home for him right now. I will be on my own anyway. I do not want any responsibility for him anymore. I have to take care of my two children and me. Please help.

There are two basic grounds for dissolution of marriage in FL. The most common is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and the other is that your spouse has been confined to a mental institution for 3 years.

You need to talk with an attorney in detail. If he is mentally competent you may proceed now. If he is incompetent you may be impacted by a three year waiting period in the statute.

The disabled person has to be appointed a guardian and be declared incapacitated for at least a year before you can get this done.
