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.

Alight guys I need to give you guys a little bit of background for you to understand the situation, but i really need some serious advice on how to deal with this.

So 3 years ago I started dating a guy I had been friends with for a little bit. after about 3 months or so of dating my mom kicked me out at 17, him and his family took me in and let me stay there. soon after that I became pregent with our daughter. we had our problems as most couples do and now 3 years later we broke up. 3 months ago he lost his job and we had to move out of our apartment and I blamed him for that because it felt like he wasn’t trying as hard as he could to provide for his family. I feel like I took out all my stress out on him. and now he’s broken up with me and says that he doesn’t even enjoy spending time with me anymore. Its only been 2 days since the breakup, and those two days a mutual friend of ours was over, we were tying to stay in the same house and I felt like my friend (who happens to be a girl) was spending alot of time and it was making me really uncomfortable. I feel like because of that I couldn’t give him the space I think he needed and now I;m scared the damage is too much. I don’t want to see my family not be together. he says he still loves me and I believe that, i still love him dearly and all i can do right now is try to give him space( the girl has left and I have removed myself and my daughter from the house) he was asking for hoping that maybe he’ll come around after some time to blow off steam. but he tells me the rs’s no hope for us. I cant tell if hes just saying that because the whole situation has upset him or ithat’sts really the truth. Itextremelyly hard for me tbelieveve someone can give up on something that admit to loving and a family. I’m just not sure how to handle the situation.

please guys i’m all ready down I don’t need anyone being rude. I know I need to move ountilll he’s ready to work on things and in time I think I will accept if he doesn’t
we moved in with a mutal friend and had been there there almost a month before this, this girl along with a few other people happened to be there when it happened. the plan was for her to stay for the weekend when she came and to hang out with all of us. however after the breakup she didnt leave his side i tried to explain him that it was just making me feel worse and I was haing a hard time dealing with it beacause of it but it just made it worse beacuse trust, and me giving him soace were basicly why we broke up.

Hello all, okay I need help. I have been dating this amazing guy named Cody for eight months.I love him allot and I wanted to marry him. We were talking about it and out of no where he asks me if I would sign a prenup. Now I didn’t think he had anything that would be worth anything. He said that he was a very (unsuccessful) inventor. But then he says that he didn’t say how much money he had because he didn’t want me thinking about money being a factor if he asked me to marry him. I just don’t know what to say to him. I feel overwhelmed. He lied to me! I asked him what else he lied about and if he is actually a inventor like he said. He told me that he doesn’t live in the apartment that I have been living with him for 5 months now. He actually rented the place once we started seriously dating. And that he is a inventor but not as unsuccessful as he had told me. I asked him, how much money do you really have? I wont say how much he said but, OH MY GOD ALLOT. More than a sane person could spend in like ten life times. After a long silence I sad okay, what did you "INVENT" that made you that much money? And he said he cant tell me because the people that bought the the idea was the military and they stipulated that he is to not talk about it to anyone, as part of a contract or something. He said he loves me with all that he is, but he isn’t stupid ether. that people change over time and and if something should happen that I would be more than comfortable for the rest of my days and its a way for us both to be safe. I know he isn’t lying about the money because he showed me his accounts and his house. I mean I’m in my parents house now and this place is big (2500 sq ft) big. but you could fit like five of them IN his house. I just don’t know what to do. I’m confused and rely emotional right now. I’m staying here right now because I just don’t know whats going on. What do i do? What do i say? What am i supposed to think!?! Just please help me..

I had no job (my job was daycare at our home, but without a home I couldnt keep doing daycare), no car, no money and no where to live. I managed to get a job, buy a car for 0 and save up for an apartment. I had to buy everything from pots n pans, to sheets to appliances. He changed the locks and told my daughter (who is 15) that I wasnt allowed there anymore, it wasnt my home.

How is this ok? He’s sitting there with our house, our minivan, and ,000.00 worth of other assets. Now I’m filing for divorce (of course I get to pay for that too)

My sister is saying that if I didnt take anything, I can’t get it now. If I left the house, then its his now. All I want is whats fair. We were married for 15 years. Am I totally screwed now?
He was gay and didn’t want anyone to know…obviously I knew & didnt want to be his "roommate" any longer. This did make him angry…

Who’s to say what is voluntary? He made me leave, or I would have stayed to keep my business going and he could have left.

I wish to break up with my boyfriend. He is mentally abusive and a little physically abusive as well. He lives in my apartment that I pay for. I wish for him to leave but he refuses. Do I have to involve the police? Are there are any other ways to evict him? He doesn’t pay rent and actually has his own apartment a mile away.

I have a friend who said she would get a restraining order another male friend of mine, the funny thing was he didn’t do anything to her. So I was wondering if she could really get a restraining order on him. And my boyfriend or ex-boyfriend will not leave me alone, so I was wondering if I could get a restraining order on him. He’s like bothering me everyday, and I’m tired of him calling every 10 minutes, showing up at my apartment. Intimidating my other male friends. My neighbors are complaining about him showing up all the time. He doesn’t hit me or something, neither does he threaten me. He’s a nice guy really, but he causing too much problems for me, I tried talking to him about it but the next moment he’s at my door again. Can someone please help me?

My husband and I have one child together, we don’t own a home, or even an apartment, we live with his parents. I have all the money, he doesn’t have a job. I just want to know if everything goes smoothly and we agree on simple terms with our daughter what will the cost be. I keep my stuff he keeps his stuff. No issues just a plain divorce with no lawyers. What do you think it would cost?

I am planning to file a legal separation with my husband but I want to know we can still live in the same apartment as a room ate. we have two kids and we can’t move to another place. Please help.

My friend told me, him and this girl are dating but are not in a relationship. He said they don’t have sex, but I know they kiss. He use to like me(we kissed), but we decided to be friends. He tried to come over to my apartment at 2 am, but I didn’t allow that because it was too late and he is dating her. So what is the difference? I never heard of dating and not being in a relationship or leading to one.

I have just filed a police report against my roommate for aggravated harassment. On Tuesday I will seek a restraining order. After I obtian the restraining order, I can then legally break my lease and move.

The terms of the restraining order do not require him to leave the apartment or keep a physical distance. They only require him not to "annoy, harass, intimidate, or stalk".

Can it also order him temporarily not to disconnect our utilities in order to annoy or harass me, until the next court date?
