Question:

How long is a temporary divorce order by the court before it becomes final?

Question:

My ex wife filed for a divorce in a county neither of us lived in at the time. Without being properly served, I was just notified that her attorney got a judgment for a property settlement of $7,500. How can they do this without me knowing, and how can they do this when she already got most of our assets? Also, is filing for a divorce in a county that neither of us were residents of considered legal? This is a whirlwind that has left me very confused.
 

Question:

My wife and I have been married for 17 years, but we have now been separated, though not legally, for three years. During this time, I’ve paid all bills, tuition and support, and been able to see my kids every weekend since. My wife recently inherited a home from a deceased grandfather and now lives there. Do I have any legal rights in regards to this property since we are still legally married? Can I use the inherited house as leverage to retain my retirement?

Question:

We have been married for 19 years with a 16-year-old son, but we’d like to get a clean divorce. Can we do a pro se divorce or do we need a lawyer because of potential complications with our child? Also, I understand that nothing happens within the first 90 days after filing. So I’m wondering if I can file the first form and then get a lawyer if later needed down the line? So would a lawyer have to re-file the same papers or can an attorney proceed anytime within the 90-day filing period?
