More details to this question:
We are married for 12 years and have two kids: 8yo and 5yo. We leaved together for 11 years. During marriage I supported my husband to obtain two degrees: MS and JD. During school time and for one year before each school he was unable to find jobs and was on unemployment. After law degree, he found a job four hours away from home and with below average annual pay. For the first year he stayed there during the week and stayed with us weekends only. He was not able to offer any help or financial support. Last year he got transferred to a closer location (1.5 hours from home). He later moved to his parents as we started to have disagreements and it was 40 min commute for him. He visited on weekends ¿ still no help. Recently, I received a promotion work assignment which is in different county and shared it with him. My firm also covers private education for kids in the top school. After my news he now asks for divorce. Any recommendations at this stage?

You should immediately contact a divorce attorney and discuss the situation in detail. His law degree is a marital asset - and his enhanced earnings capacity from that degree is something that needs to be examined.

There are a number of issues that need to be addressed; custody, support, maintenance and division of property which includes his degrees/license. I suggest you get your financial documents in order and seek assistance from a qualified matrimonial attorney who practices in the county that you will most likely file the action. However, one is hopeful, that issues can be resolved with a stipulation of settlement.
