My husband & I have been living seperate almost 3 years. We are now going to divorce. Should I have filed a seperation agreement? I gave him an agreement to sign when I moved out but he refused to sign it and I did not pursue it. Additionally, I was downsized from my job. I have not been getting any type of financial support. I am trying to make this as painless as possible. He is going to file uncontested. Is there a way I can stay on his health insurance? And is there a way I can legally get him to pay alimony until our house sells?
Additionally, I am trying to complete my taxes and we are filing seperate for the first time. Because we have been living apart for so many years, are we considered legally seperated? There is a ? on the tax software that asks when did my legal seperation become finalized.
