Yes, even if they did not live together, she still has the same rights that any other married person has. She may be entitled to alimony, but I cannot tell you that without meeting with her and reviewing the specific facts of her face.

Thank you very much for your response, I am from Fayetteville and I would like to know if my daughter can see a lawyer that the first consultation is free and if her spouse could be charge for all the services.
I do not know of any attorneys who offer free consultations, but if you call around you may be able to find one that will. You may be able to get attorneys fees from her spouse, however all attorneys will require that the fees be paid in advance.

My daughter got married in May 2006 the same year she graduated from high school, we had to signed because she was a minor, we accepted because he was living to Japan and he just came for few weeks they stayed together for the last week before he left, the aggrement was that he was coming back to get the big wedding we bought the dress and I started to make arrangement for almost everything I think about five months he ask for divorce it was devastated for my daughter it was difficult moments for all of us she had to get treatment for depression and after few months he changed his mind, and after few months later he wanted divorce again it’s been almost two years now and finally he sent the papers. The reason for him asking for divorce is just after he got married he started living with a girl in Japan, he sent pictures of them together to my daughter and he has a page of them on the internet. Emotionally he destroyed my daughter thats nothing that can changed that but now he stopped her allotment and she is studying and she depends of that money for her rent, gas, and utilities beside she lost one year of college waiting for him to take her to Japan. Now my question is; Does she have any rights even they did not live together after they got married?
