Do I have it notarized and take it to the court house ahead of the scheduled court date of may 12th or do I need to do something else?

Answered 11 years and 10 months ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
You need to file it with the court, give a working copy to the family court and give her a copy within the deadline dates. Notarizing has nothing to do with anything and is not needed.

Can I change the grounds for divorce if my legal separation already says irreconcilable differences?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Diane L. Berger (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
I don't know what state you are in so don't know what the potential grounds could be. You don't give a lot of information as to incomes, but it sounds as if you would certainly be eligible for alimony.

Can I change the grounds for divorce if my legal separation already says irreconcilable differences?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
You simply have to file an amended Petition seeking a divorce rather than a legal separation. Talk to a paralegal who does family law for guidance through this process.

Can I change the grounds for divorce if my legal separation already says irreconcilable differences?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Dennis Joel Leffert (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Grounds for divorce in Florida is ?Reconcilable Differences'. There may be the possibility of alimony with a marriage of 6 years, however, the amount will be minimum and the time period will be short. Alimony is negotiable, so perhaps you should consider Mediation. Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable, however, both spouses must agree to mediation first. Good luck.... Read More

If my wife is asking for a divorce and I am disabled, can I get spousal support?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
An award of spousal support is based on the several factors listed in the Florida Statutes, among which is your need and your wife's ability to pay the same. The length of marriage is also factored in. You really need to consult with a divorce attorney in your area as to the particulars of your case.... Read More

Can my husband kicked me out after I signed the divorce papers?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Don't sign anything! You don't say what these papers are. Read the documents so you know whether this is a petition or what and what you are required to do to respond. There is no such thing as an uncontested divorce until you agree to everything, which you are not required to do. You can certainly go to court (get a lawyer to do this for you) and have your move out of the home postponed until after you recover. That's assuming your husband somehow has a greater right to the house than you do.... Read More

Can my husband kicked me out after I signed the divorce papers?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Dennis Joel Leffert (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Whether or not he can kick you out would depend upon the status of the residence in which you live. If it is a rental, he can only kick you out if he goes through an eviction process, but that will probably not work since it is as much your residence as it is his. If it is a home that you both bought during the marriage, you will probably not be able to since you have as much a right of being there as he. If you want him to move and you to stay there, do not allow him to have an uncontested divorce. Fight for what you want.... Read More

Answered 12 years ago by Mr. Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
File as a contested action, Use Service by Publication for notice to him. Procedure is complicated and is best to have an attorney.

Can I collect alimony 15 years after my divorce?

Answered 12 years ago by Matthew Eugene Ludt (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
It depends on what was stated within your divorce decree. Further even if there was a reservation of spousal maintenance under Minnesota law your motion for spousal maintenance will require great detail given the 15 years that have passed since the divorce.

How long does one have to be married if filing for divorce and seeking a share of the spouse's pension?

Answered 12 years ago by Matthew Eugene Ludt (Unclaimed Profile)   |   11 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
Any asset held during the marriage is a marital asset subject to equitable division upon divorce. However any portions of that pension asset that she had premaritally are not subject to division if she credibly demonstrate the value of that share of the pension at the time of the marriage. Further, because it is an equitable division and not strictly an equal division she could make a compelling argument to exclude value that accrued in the last 1.5 years of separation and thus just ask the court to divide the portion developed while married and together but note that this last possibility isn't certain at all....

Am I entitled to half of my husband's pension if we divorce after 9 years of marriage?

Answered 12 years ago by John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
You clearly need an attorney to review all of the facts and advise you. Generally, in such a situation you would be entitled to a portion of the pension which accrued during the course of the marriage, in this case one year out of his career but there is no real ability to give you a firm answer without knowing all of the facts....

Do I need my husband's signature for dissolution of marriage?

Answered 12 years ago by Ms. Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)   |   10 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
In Arizona you can obtain a dissolution of marriage with the other party signing any documents. However, it will be necessary for you to serve the dissolution petition on him. This is done by a sheriff or deputy, or a licensed process server. If he is served with a petition for dissolution and the supporting documents, and does not file a response, then you can still obtain the dissolution. You should consult with an experienced Arizona family law attorney to advise and assist you.... Read More
