3178444 tn?1348441829 m not positve how long a divorce takes. I have the forms, and I need to go see legal aid so they can help me fill them out correctly. I do think I can request to have the waiting period waived, but not sure.. It's just a big mess n I'm stressed.. Im also a full time student at the local college here, so all this plus everything thing else going on in my life well, my plate is full.. I think maybe I'm also kinda chicken to tell her I don't know why I can't really describe it..
Avatar f tn My daughter and her hubby are getting a divorce. In this state you gotta come up with 2600.00 minimum to get a divorce attorney. Is it like this all over?
Avatar f tn Many areas have free legal aid, as well. At least talk to someone. Google your town or county and legal aid, like Chicago legal aid, Boise legal aid, Cook County legal aid. I don't know what other countries have, if you aren't in the US, but just try it.
Avatar f tn Talk to someone in your location who is either a lawyer or a paralegal that does this kind of work. A lot of Legal Aid clinics do boatloads of divorce and child support stuff, because that is one of the biggest problems people have that they need legal help for.
Avatar f tn Also get a lawyer, Legal Aid groups might be available.
10707428 tn?1415569790 My husband kicked me out yesterday. He said he wants a divorce because he doesnt love me anymore. This is all so sudden, and a shock to me, because i thought we had a great marriage. My question is, i want to move outside the country, im 7 months. My question is can i fly on plane across the ocean when im 7 months? Can he sue me for kidnapping his child even though he's not born yet?
578035 tn?1218867130 t you have legal aid or a public defender. Whatever you decide to do I will respect and I will pray for you, in my own way - but if it was me I'd fight and fight until I got custody of my children or at least joint custody. Men (yes, I'm sexist) always have the money when they separate or divorce. You're not alone in this; I've read other posts like yours. Hope you are able to get some kind of legal help.
Avatar f tn I known my husband for 15month before we got marries religiously in Australia. I was taking care his son from his 1st marriage & the house. Since am in Aussia on my tourist visa we decided to go to Bali to renew my visa then we going to make the arrangement to do the legal marriage & partner visa.
Avatar f tn I'm newly pregnant about 4 wks here's issue, I have been legally married for 17 years but for the last 7 years not with "ex"husband at all. We live together in separate rooms because I want to raise my 4 older children and can't afford a divorce since all our assets are tied together. I've been with another man for the last 4 years privately and in love .. Next year I was planning to take action and make things happen as in divorce papers ..
Avatar f tn I am not sure if you are in canada but if so you can visit a legal aid lawyer ( they base fees by your salary ) and sometimes it is free. You have agreed to a bad deal..You most likely would have primary custody anyway, and possesion is nine tenths of the law, meaning you left the house so it would be hard for you to get it back. Protect your kids from this awful mess. i left my ex because i didnt want my son to ever treat a woman the way his did treated me. He is 19 and is doing incredible.
Avatar f tn I am in the process of filling for divorce we have been seperated a long time i have been with my bf the dad since jan. I am due end of dec and was wondering if my divorce isnt finalized by then will there be any issues?
Avatar f tn ) In your shoes I would talk to my parents about all of this and work to find a legal-aid lawyer who can help you with the divorce. Your daughter is so young that she will not feel the loss of her dad right now, and if the two of you can keep a civil tone going, he might still be a presence in her life as time goes by. Not that it sounds like he much wants to. But in any case, he is obliged to pay support for both children. The law is on your side. Talk to your lawyer, it's important.
Avatar n tn I need to find out where I can get a blood test done to prove I am not a cocaine user. My ex has made a fraudulent claim to her solicitor that I am a regular cocaine user and that I can not see my children until I pass a blood test. I am not able to afford legal advice and not do I qualify for legal aid so I am attempting everyway I can to prove my innocence. My GP won't do it and the local hospital can't do it without a referral from the GP (chicken and egg!!).
Avatar f tn If they are high (court fees and legal fees), why not just go to Vegas? I think you can get a divorce there very fast.
Avatar f tn Iust have a quick question was wondering if anybody had any insight or has been in the same situation. I am currently separated from my husband. We are going through a divorce, and the father of my child and myself are not together either. I am do in early August. I do not know if he will have the divorce finalized by then. I know I can give her my maiden name, but my question is can I sign with my maiden name on the birth certificate? Or does it have to be my legal name at the moment?
Avatar n tn I am sure jag will go over it all. There should be a legal aid thay can help you financially with the papers. They helped my mom divorce my dad years ago.
4437866 tn?1388119624 Here in Australia custody rights happen with the divorce usually (its in our divorce papers) but it can happen at any time if the need arises, just means more money and lawyer/court costs. And like mizzztaylor said, unless they are adopted they still have to pay child support, don't let him get out of that one, thats what alot of these men try to do, think if they have nothing to do with them they won't have to pay for them.
Avatar f tn I spoke to legal aid and they told me that unfortunately I do need his signature. But they also reminded me that if he does sign it, then in the future there will be a lot of things that need parent signatures and if were both on the birth certificate then we both need to sign. (Passports etc) so it's better off just keeping him off there altogether. Thanks guys!
Avatar n tn I was only in the (outpatient) unit for ABOUT 3 hours. How can this be legal? She did not tell me the surgery would cost this much. I did ask. They told me that I would have to call the Hospital to find out. I got the run-around when I did that. I am so disappointed with the costs and the results of this entire process. I still have another eye to do. Can you give me any suggestions? THANKS!!
Avatar n tn You told her you wanted to divorce? You went to see a lawyer, or had divorce papers presented to her? Until they day the legal process is complete (and I don't know where you live, so what the process is there or how long it takes) then you are not divorced, and you can stop that process at any time. Do you WANT to divorce your wife? Does she want to be divorced from you? jrobertson is right - the alcohol and meds will affect your judgement.
1054665 tn?1305508455 hearing aid stopped working, and I live on SSD, insurance won't pay for repairs, so wondering what can I do to get it repaired for little to no cost?
Avatar n tn Idk what the laws are where you are but here in KY you can not file for divorce until the child is born. You can file for legal separation but that is it. I would go ahead and call a lawyers and see what the rules are in your area. You may be able to file but not go to court until after baby is here. In divorce papers they will set up child support, visitation, medical support for baby etc.
Avatar f tn I was hoping my divorce would be over soon so i could just wait but i also heard that a divorce cant be finalized untill the baby is born
Avatar f tn I live in florida and i dont know what are the legal rights regarding birth certificate . Ive been separated over a year but not legally divorced , can my boyfriend sign the birth certificate ?? Any of u ladies going through this in the state of florida ??
Avatar f tn First...thank you ladies for all the feedback. Update: I did tell my lawyer that I'm pregnant and that it's not my soon to be ex husbands. My lawyer wrote up the settlement and cleverly noted that I'm pregnant ...not with his child and in a way that my ex won't know that I'm expecting. It's legal and my ex won't find out through the divorce papers or at all if I can help it. I did all that worrying for nothing and you all are great for the support!!!
