How many cases are the most difficult to decide whether or not a person is entitled to alimony. The state law requires that a judge consider 12 factors in the award of alimony.

It is necessary to have all those factors considered and reviewed by a competent attorney in order to make a proper assessment as to whether or not alimony might be awarded.... Read More

I assume your facts to be that your husband "married" the working girl after your marriage to him. I am also assuming he has had sexual relations with his new "wife". If the "marriage" to the working girl occurred in MD, then it is void. If this is the case, then you can file for an immediate divorce in MD based upon adultery. You should consult with a lawyer about your rights and obligations regarding property matters and alimony.... Read More

The simple answer is, yes, you might be responsible, but you could also ask a judge in a divorce or legal separation case to assign the debt to your wife solely. The reality of doing this is a lot more complicated than I can explain in a short message. If the insurance policy was not carried through your employment benefit health insurance (or union), and is in in your wife's name alone, the bill may be her sole responsibility anyway. Talk to a family law attorney to get more information.... Read More

No. At very least, he would have to start an eviction proceeding. In addition, he has a child support obligation that makes him liable for payments to you if you left with the children retroactive to the date you file a support petition, and you may also seek spousal support as part of that petition pending an order from the supreme court. In addition, you can make a motion seeking relief related to the housing. You should be consulting an attorney if you are divorcing. Do not let your spouse determine things unilaterally with your signing off on things.... Read More

False. Go see your own attorney. You are basically entitled to approximately one-half of all payments made on the house during your marriage so long as those payments were made from earnings from either you or your husband. Do not hesitate.

If you are in Florida, what he has told you is incorrect. If you refinanced and your name was added to the deed and mortgage, in Florida you are now entitled to half of the house, regardless of the value of the house at mortgage. Even if you are not in Florida, you need to consult with an attorney before agreeing to anything; otherwise, you could be giving up valuable rights.... Read More

I think he is trying to bamboozle you. More than likely, since you lived there, you are entitled to half the value of the house and other property, including any retirement he has. Of course, he is also entitled to one-half of any retirement you have. The one-half is short hand and you need to talk with an attorney to figure out exactly what you are entitled to.... Read More

Yes if the grounds for Divorce are based on Adultery and that Adultery is proven to the Court. Also under the Ricketts case some litigants who separated within the house,( eg. one lives in the basement with a separate entrance, kitchen etc, such that they are essentially living in two separate abodes), are able to prove valid separations and obtain their divorces....
