my wife wants a divorce. she has been collecting unemployment for almost 2 years but has a professional degree to work in a high paying job. she has not been actively seeking employment. we have multiple young children and wants physical custody which means child support payments will also be high.should i give her any alimony considering there may also be an adultery issue?

I have several questions concerning a divorce I am going through. If anyone is an attorney, or has legal or divorce experience, that would be great. I feel and have been told that our divorce should be very simple- we were married for just over a year, both of us our college students, no kids, no real estate. We acquired only a few items during our marriage. The day we split up, my wife drained our savings account, not a ton of money, but still relatively a lot for college kids (around 00.) Now, I have recieved her divorce paperwork, and am preparing my answer. She is asking that I help pay the remainder of the lease in the apartment we were in, even though she is the only one living there. Also, she is asking for 0 dollars a month alimony. I’ve spoken with a lawyer and he said that if this were to make it to court (let’s hope it doesn’t) he would be very suprised if a judge ordered alimony in a case like this- not kids, we both are in school, only married a year. Also, he said it is unlikely that i would be required to help pay where she is living, and that a judge would rule that that money she took be split up. I’m hoping if her and I cannot work this out between ourselve that a mediator can. Would a mediator tell her that it is not likely she will get alimony? I would love to keep this out of court, and think that with how simple and low-key it is, we should be able to do that. Also, I have a classic car I’ve had since I was sixteen that I rebuilt with my father- she put that she wants part of that. My lawyer told me there’s no way, because it was mine long before she came into the picture, and since we were married such a short duration, it has not become a marital asset. Anyway, sorry to be so longwinded, I just really would like some opinions and some clarity on this subject, thank you.

My boyfriend is in the military and stationed overseas. He and his wife have been legally separated for 9 1/2 years. A year ago he filed divorce papers, so that we can get married. She has the papers, but didn’t sign them. They have a daughter together, and he pays child support, and says that he has agreed to alimony. However, she has refused to sign the papers, and won’t give an explanation as to why.
So my question, can the marriage still be completely dissolved, even if she refuses to sign?

My husband says the Irs has a levy on his bank accounts and hasn’t paid this month.Is the alimony owed siezable?

I entered into "contractual alimony" 3 years ago when my husband,and I, divorced. This was actually property division. My attorney neglected to explain, I didn’t have much recourse for obtaining these payments if my X "appeared bankrupt," and persuaded me to agree to these terms, because of my mounting legal fees (my Xhusband so generously took care of all legal fees related to the divorce.)
We live in Texas and had a very large estate, which, somehow, the vast majority of, was never revealed by my attorneys. I feared at the time of divorce he would do exactly what has now happened. He owns his own business in Texas and throughout the US, as well as worldwide. My xhusband feared I would be asking for a review of the divorce based on fraud. He managed to defraud me out of a huge portion of assets, scattered worldwide. Within the US, assets were strategically placed under the companies he supplies in materials. As part of a network buyer program. He has worked these last 3 years on moving all assets, (pleading a fraudulent bankruptcy) within the US, out of the country "umbrella’d" under an overseas trust we created long ago..during our marriage. (This trust was set up by his German aunt, who has since died.)
He has worked diligently on expanding his overseas business, and arranging numerous new trusts under the one that existed during our marriage (he claimed the trust when his aunt passed, and does not have the ability to close it. Only create more trusts underneath of it. I now know this was done during our seperation.) Obviously, my attorney neglected to ever unveil our "real net worth" during the divorce. These last 3 years he has carefully managed to appear as though he has nearly no assets in the US, or what he does have are "protected assets" under Texas law. He appears totally "busted." Needless to say, I was supposed to be paid over many years for our arranged "contractual alimony," (property division,) and he has stopped all payments. I am struggling at the moment to get a judgment. I am hopeful to gain this at my next court hearing. But, this judgment wonn’t do me a lot of good, unless, I know where to collect overseas assets. I have gained a lot of evidence of these overseas assets, but, I have exhausted my savings in a custody battle. As well as, legal fees related to the divorce. Of course, I always planned to get back in the workforce myself. But, after the turmoil inflicted on myself, and my children (as a result of his abusive ways, and the length of time involved in our agonizing divorce,) I planned these life changes around the "contractual alimony" agreement. I am speaking with various legal professionals, but if anyone would have something to offer I would greatly appreciate it…..Much gratitude:)

Married for 10 years, both spouses worked and had no kids but in the divorced alimony is still granted.

What is the point when the wife is on her own and has her own job and makes an average income to live comfortably since she’s one person. Say ,000 a year as a nurse or something. Why is she still given alimony?

That’s unfair isn’t it? They had no kids. MANY couples still have to pay alimony to the other when they don’t have any kids and it seems pointless.

I was told by one attorney that alimony is considered income to my spouse which would bring down the amount of child support. I was told by another attorney that alimony can not be figured into income for child support. Which is true? I can not find anything on this matter.

to pay alimony, contempt in court(00 )bail, 0,000 in credit debt in his and my name, taking all my money and put it in this kids account.

"Prenuptial Agreement
Prenuptial agreement is a good tool to protect your assets. This article contains information on prenup, and its legal validity in Australia.

Prenuptial Agreement
A Prenuptial Agreement, also known as a Prenuptial or Ante-Nuptial Agreement, is a contract that two people sign prior to getting married. Its purpose is to define their rights and benefits and to settle questions of property division, alimony, and/or inheritance if the marriage ends because of death, separation, or divorce. It allows the signers to protect assets that they had acquired prior to the marriage. Without such an agreement, current state law requirements will determine these matters. An agreement simply allows the couple to follow their own rules, in as much detail as they wish A similar agreement called a postnuptial agreement is signed after a couple is already married. Domestic partners may also have a cohabitation agreement.

Why Prenuptial Agreement?
Getting a prenuptial agreement is particularly important in these 8 cases:
1. You are much wealthier than your partner. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that your partner is marrying you for who you are, and not for your money.
2. You earn much more than your partner. A prenuptial agreement can be used in many states to limit the amount of alimony that is payable.
3. You are remarrying. When you remarry, your legal and financial concerns are often very different than in your first marriage. You may have children from a previous marriage, support obligations, and own a home or other significant assets. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that when you pass away, your assets are distributed according to your wishes, and that neither your first family, nor your new family are cut off.
4. Your partner has a high debt load. If you are marrying someone with a significant debt load, and don’t want to be responsible for these debts if your marriage ends, then a prenuptial agreement can help ensure that this does not happen.
5. You own part of a business. Without a prenuptial agreement, when your marriage ends, your spouse could end up owning a share of your business. Your business partners may not want this to happen. A prenuptial can ensure that your spouse does not become an unwanted partner in your business.
6. To prevent your spouse from overturning your estate plan. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that you estate plan works, and, for instance, ensure that a specific heirloom remains in your family.
7. You are much poorer than your partner. Just as a prenuptial agreement can be used to protect a spouse who is well off, a prenuptial can also be used to ensure that the partner who is weaker financially is protected.
8. If you plan to quit your job to raise children. Quitting your job will negatively impact your income and your wealth. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that the financial burden of raising the children is shared fairly by both partners.

Is Prenuptial Agreement only for Wealthy?
Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy. Many couples do not realize that a marriage merges assets automatically. Any two people with homes, stocks, retirement funds, a business or children from a previous marriage should consider getting a prenuptial agreement.
