I need legal advice and guidance. I have been married 24 years. My husband and I were living seperately in the same home for about 2 1/2 years. I was downsized from my job in 2002 and have not been able to secure a job. Hw came home one day and told me I needed to find a way to support myself so he could do something about our marriage. So I moved out, into my own apartment. That was over 2 years ago. I do not have $$ to pay for a lawyer for divorce and had hoped that we somehow would work things out. He recently advised me that he is going to file for divorce (uncontested). Initially I was not going to ask for alimony, just child support and ask him to continue to pay my health insurance. H

He cannot file for an uncontested divorce unless you sign an agreement. So he lacks an understanding of the process. There cannot be a divorce absent an agreement without steps such as mediation and trial.
You need a lawyer even if you work things out to review the papers. Absent an agreemnt, it will be far more costly, but usually you will lose far more without a lawyer than the cost of hiring one. |
