I am in another state. He is filing in the state we lived together in. How do I find out if after 23 years, am I entitled to any compensation.

   Your husband is filing for divorce in the proper state, as it is where you last lived together as husband and wife.    However, since the case is pending in Virginia, the laws of that state would govern.  You should consult with a Virginia attorney who could give you some understanding of the law in that state relative to divorce.  Although the length of a marriage is one factor a court looks at, there are many more that are fact specific to your particular situation.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
