I have been sick for about 1 year, I live in another state and I have the children 100% of the time do to violence from my ex spouse ( court ordered). My spouse hold all the assets. Married for 18 years. His argument is he shouldn’t have to pay money I should work and he should also be able to reduce support( all teenagers).
We have been dating for 9 months and have been engaged for 3 months. I have fairly extensive assests in a home and retirement plans, and she has very few assets with no retirement funds. She has been divorced twice and I am a widower. I love her very much, but I am concerned about protecting what I have worked my life for if things don’t work out in the future. I have an 18-year-old son by my late wife, and she has 15- and 17-year-old sons from her first marriage. Any advice on how to approach this subject without totally freaking her out?
She is making the argument that if I trust her and plan on being married forever, I wouldn’t be worried about us signing it. However, I must be rational about this despite my current feelings. If something were to happen in the future, say 10 years from now, I don’t want to lose all my assets.
My child’s father is currently not working, he could start again but at least for now he is not. I am a college student so I do not make any money. He have 10’s of millions in cash and assets. I do not have money for a lawyer and am just filing with the state. So how do they figure out monthly support?
Thanks!
We lived in NY when we were married so it will be an out of state divorce, if that makes a difference. He still lives in NY but I’m in Florida. He refuses to pay half of the divorce. I guess I have to bite the bullet and pay but I don’t make much money. The cheapest I heard was a place that does the paperwork for 8 but then court fees are an added 0. Any suggestions?
Yeah, I just wanted to add that we do not have an children or assets. Our only issue up for debate is that he doesn’t want to pay.
I would like to file for a divorce without involving an attorney. I simply cannot afford one. My husband and I have no assets to share; no children either. We have simply grown apart. Can I file a motion on my own? I live in the state of NJ. Thanks!
Do you think a guy who makes 100k can afford to lose 1/2 of his assets?
Doesn’t it make sense that a pre-nup is for anyone with any assets to protect.
Keep in mind
Just because one enters a marriage with few assets does not mean they won’t aquire valuable assets prior to divorce.
52% of marriages end in divorce
Me and my husband are separated and I feel like there is no reconciliation in the works. I was told that if i post an ad in the paper and he did not answer it that that would be no contest divorce, and my fees would be waved. We don’t have any kids together and no money or any other assets together, this would be a clean break. Somebody please help and please no smart alict remarks this is serious to me. Thank you.
I live in Indiana and I was married in Marion County
Is it a 50-50 split of property and assets acquired after the marriage ?
What about kids ? Does WA State family law favor the mother or joint custody ??
Thanks…
We are both undergraduate college students with no assets. One of us has a little bit of debt.
