I was married in California 12/29/07 and I am now living in Colorado. My husband is active duty military. So what im asking id how I would go about divorce or legal separation with my situation. Thanks!

was married 12 years- 2 children – moved out the house in October of 2003 – pursued a divorce in NYS – wife ended up wanting to go to trial – I couldnt afford it so we didnt.
I pay monthly child support see my children regularly- pay family health coverage (she is covered as well) – pay most of the childrens expenses (recreation, sports, etc..)
I own nothing – owe the irs 40,000 dollars (she is liable as well)…
HOW CAN I GET A LEGAL SEPARATION OR DIVORCE IF SHE IS NOT AGREEABLE TO ONE?????
THANK YOU…..

can i go to city hall (in chicago) and get a divorce? legal separation? please inform me….very important!!!!

I want a separation but husband will not leave. Can I get a legal separation without it being mutual? Will judge decide who leaves and who stays in a separation?

Im considering a legal separation/divorce but my husband and his dad are on the deed of the house.We bought the house after marriage and with both our money. Also, we both pay the bills in the house but he pays from his account. Am I entitled to half the sale of the house if I go through with the divorce?

I am getting a divorce but the process is rather lengthy. There is no chance of reconciliation, and it is a no fault divorce. I live in the state of Pennsylvania, where there is no such thing as legal separation.

I am ready to move on with my life, as my marriage has truly been over for a LONG time. Am I free to date casually? I am not looking for a moral answer, I am thinking legally.

I was told that the military only sees marriage and divorce and does not recognize legal separation. My husband and I aren’t sure on divorce yet but we definately need time apart. Legal separation is our best bet at this point and is really the way I want to go. Can anyone help me? How does this all work in the military situation. We are an airforce family

This is an amendment to an earlier question, but I live in PA and my wife and I split 5 months into the year. Going over the IRS website she should be considered the custodial parent this year, however that stipulation is under the legally seperated and divorced parents section. Does this change as we are not yet divorced and there are no legal separation documents drawn up?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a few months now. He recently revealed to me that he has a common law marriage under his belt that he has yet to rectify through a divorce. The female party has agreed to the necessary legal actions and we are all looking to take care of this as quickly and quietly as possible.

There was no relationship and the marriage was never consumated. They never lived together or accumulated any assets.
No children involved.
No changes to last name.
Taxes still filed individually. No joint finances in any regard.
They were under the influence at the time and were only married 17 days before they both spent time behind bars. (Just over a year combined).

Does the jail time count as legal separation? Are they eligible for an anulment? With ABSOLUTELY NO assets/properties/children/last name changes/joint taxes/ etc., how long should a no-contest/no-fault divorce take in PA under these circumstances? Also, what kind of money will it take?

Or, at the very least when will he have papers in hand to prove he is divorced or on his way to being divorced? Because without papers for proof, being together will be nothing but an enormous emotional hassle from those around me resulting in turmoil until then. Meaning, we can’t be together as we deserve without legal proof of his marital status.

Outside of that, this is question is for legal advice only. Please refrain from lectures about poor personal choices, etc.

THANK YOU!
Common Law may not be the right term. I believe they do have a marriage license. If not, I’m happier than I thought.
All I really need to know is how long should it take start to finish. Can they sign papers and be done or are they still under the "waiting period" of 90 days (in PA)?

P.S. "Fishy" and "Hookie"…oh the irony of those two words being used on this page!

I have been separated for over a year (my spouse moved out with our three children). He has filed for Legal Separation in Indiana which has that provision. However in Texas there is no provision for Legal Separation, only Divorce. Since he has only filed for Legal Separation in Indiana, can I file for divorce in Texas or does the original filing of the Legal Separation tie me to Indiana?
