More details to this question:
My spouse had a lawyer email me divorce papers from New York. I currently live in Florida. In her complaint she states that we have had breakdown for at least 6 months. This is not true. Our breakdown was on January 9th when we both decided to end the marriage. Would this affect her since she lied on the complaint and signed it? Also, she stated that she was never on my insurance, that I lived with her in NY and that we have not had sexual relations in the past 6 months. I have proof of her on my insurance for almost 3 years. I never lived in NY, I have a full time job and an apartment in Miami Beach. And we have had sexual relations, December was the last time. She also signed that affidavit and they are all lies. How should I react to this?

You should retain counsel as soon as possible. Please also review the last page of the court papers you received to see what she is asking for the court to grant her in terms of finances, alimony, assets. As long as you are willing to move forward with a divorce you can keep the litigation expense to a minimum. We usually charge for an uncontested divorce $1,500.00 and Contested Divorce starts at $3,000. How you should respond, I can not explicitly provide in a public forum as that would require an attorney-client relationship to be established. As a general rule of thumb you need to figure out how you want to end this marriage, easy just get it over with or hard - teach her a lesson for lying.
