My boyfriend filed for divorce almost 3 years ago and still has not gotten a court date for his divorce. Is this normal? He has paid his lawyer in full and even paid the court fees over a year ago, yet he never hears a word from his lawyer. How do you get a lawyer to do the job he was paid to do, and is there any recourse if the lawyer doesn’t take care of his divorce in a reasonable amount of time?

I have heard it stated several times that if you are with a person (living with.. Idk the technicialities of it) for a certain amount of time (always heard 7 years) that they are considered "common law husband & wife".
Does this work the same for divorce? Can you be seperated for so many years and it been seen as a legal divorce? One lives in Mo and the other lives in Ga, and they’ve been seperated for a little over 5 years now… ?

I was married in the state of Missouri and was told that you have to be married for a certain amount of time before you get divorced. Does anyone know if this is True for Missouri, or how long?
I am staying home with 2 babies. Which one is his. I’ve called around for day cares and I would end up paying more for day care than I would make at a job.
If you don’t have a serious answer, don’t waste my time. I would have never dreamed of divorcing him until he cheated on me and told me he didn’t want his kid. So, keep your opinions to yourself about me. I have every right to do this.

Does anyone out there know if you are legally married but have never lived as husband & wife what the law is regarding finances? I am curious to know, if for example you never lived as husband and wife (my ex is in prison our whole marriage) and you say win money. Would that dead beat by law have rights to it? He never supported our son for the 14 yrs of life, has been incarcerated probably 13.8 yrs of my sons life. I haven’t lived with him during this so called marriage. Now if by the grace of God I won money, and I know he would try to get 1/2 even though he NEVER contributed to the marriage, child support etc. Would our courts actually find that he is entitled to any of the money? I know our laws are pretty messed up! I would think that he shouldn’t get any money since we never lived together, nor did he contribute to the finances during the marriage. (I financially can’t afford a divorce right now!) No sarcastic comments please!
I tried to get child support but our sorry laws don’t allow you to file against an incarcerated person, nor do they allow them to accue while incarcerated. So if I had an order, the courts stop the order when incarcerated. Yet I don’t stop supporting our child.
I KNOW how shitty the laws are. I just think that if we’ve never lived together, he’s never supported nor contributed to the marriage then he not receive a dime! I will look into that website re: the free divorce and file. I can see if we lived together during the marriage and he contributed to supporting the family, then yes, he should receive a portion depending on the amount of time. This is just a question. Thanks for all the great answers.

What can one expect from an entry level separation from the military? Will it effect chances at being hired for a job? Does it go away after a certain amount of time? If it does effect hiring chances, what kind of employment would it bar entry from?

I have a friend and she is having problems with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend keeps talking about marriage but hasn’t been consistent with his statements about marriage. Sometimes he all for it and then other times he says they may have to postpone it for a while. My friend really loves this man and wants to marry him sometime while we’re all still young. He is even talking about buying a place next year and marrying her so doesn’t that mean he should ask her now so they will be engaged for that amount of time? Any advice? He’s 25 and my friend is 24.
