Question:

My wife and I are separated, but we have not filed for divorce yet.

I recently purchased a vehicle during our separation period and want to know about property division laws.

Since we are still legally married, does my wife have any rights to my vehicle even though it is exclusively in my name and it was purchased during a separation?

Question:

Can I prevent my wife from having her boyfriend around my children while we are still married?

She decided to she wants to separate and has moved out and into another man's house before we have agreed to divorce or even signed any legal separation documents.

Do I have a right to refuse to allow my children to live with another man considering we have not legally separated or filed any divorce papers?

A divorce's filing date plays an important part in a dissolution action.

While it may seem like no big deal to the parties involved on which day the dissolution is filed, the date of filing for divorce is significant for many reasons, including its impact on the division of assets and debts.

Question:

My wife and I in a separation period, though still legally married. My wife and her mother (my mother-in-law) are trying to change my son’s school district, presumably closer to my wife so she would have a better chance at getting custody.

My wife is also planning on giving her mother power of attorney so that she will have the right to review and determine our child's education.

Can she give her mother power of attorney without my consent and then move my son to another school district?

If divorcing parties physically separate and move to different counties, or even different states before legally separating, this can raise questions as to where to where the jurisdiction is in order to file for the dissolution of the marriage or the legal separation.

In order to determine which is the proper court in which to bring your action for dissolution or legal separation, you must look at which court would have jurisdiction over the action and over the parties involved.
