What's next?

Dear alone again:

If you agree, then get it in writing in the form of a separation agreement. Good luck.

My husband and I have been married for since 2001. We met in san diego california and got married in vegas. Now i am sent back to the country wwhere i was born. my husband has stopeed communicating with me for six months then on Jan 17, 2007 I was finally able to talk to his Commanding Officer. My husband called and said he will not send money for those six months that he didnt send any. But he will start sending money $750 until the divorce is final. He sent the papers to sign a few days ago. My husband also told me that I will not getting anything, and I dont think thats fair. He has my car and my leathers (that I love) And i also weant him to continue the visa he applied for me which he cancelled according to him. I do NOT want to get a divorce and not get what I should be getting…PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP ASAP…what should i do?

Dear tougherNOW:

Greetings. You need to hire an attorney in the county where your husband has filed for divorce to counterclaim with a claim for equitable distribution and a motion to dismiss the divorce since it has not yet been a year that you are separated. Good luck.

My wife and I separated in aug 06. I moved out of the house and am living separtely with no intention of reconciling. The split is amicable. We have divided up the debt and are in agreement on division of personal property. We have one minor child and we have agreed upon a joint custody schedule and are sharing his living expenses.

I need to know if there is anything else I need to do to cover all the legal bases. Do I just wait out the one year period and file the divorce papers? Anything that I need to know or do?
