My spouse is spending her money aggressively to eliminate any cash that she may have to split in our divorce. What can I do to mitigate my obligation to pay half of her debt? She has served me with a Notice of Dissolution of Marriage, but nothing has been filed yet. I believe she is doing this as a calculated move on her part, re-enforced by her attorney.
Question: Is it better to have two separate lawyers if my wife and I are filing for dissolution of the marriage? We can't afford much as it is, so maybe one lawyer is best? My friends tell me it isn't possible to divorce by using the services of a single attorney. We don't want to dispute how things are divided. We just want to move on.
An area often overlooked when a person is involved with a case involving Domestic Relations, is the area of criminal law. Men are very vulnerable to cases which may possibly bring law enforcement involvement. The classic areas are Orders of Protection and Criminal Non-Support.
Though not filed in every case, Orders of Protection are utilized by parties to “evict” their spouse form the marital residence. A by product of this tool is to gain leverage with possessing the residence and possibly seizing custody of the children and establishing child support prior to the filing of dissolution/separation action. The criminal element is invoked when the Respondent to these actions “violate” the terms of the Court Order. Such violations can occur by simple communicating with the opposing party to the actual physical contact with the opposing party. Criminal charges can be instituted by a prosecutor in such cases and can adversely affect an individual’s pending domestic case.
Question: How do I find out if my spouse filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage? Answer: I would suggest you call the Clerk of the Court in the county where you believe the petition was filed and ask them. If they will not tell you over the phone, then you can go to check the court file in person. |
