Divorce hearing

I have needed to file for divorce for three years, but cannot afford to hire an attorney. I've called around and have found that an uncontested divorce will cost $1200 through an attorney which I simply cannot afford. Not to mention, my (hopefully soon to be) ex-husband will definitely contest everything and that will drive up attorney fees which is why I never considered budget divorce in the past because I knew my ex and I would never agree on anything. However, I have s ...

California Secretary of State Debra Bowen today authorized the backer of an initiative that would ban divorce to begin collecting signatures to put the proposed constitutional amendment before voters. John Marcotte now has until March 22, 2010, to collect 694,354 signatures of registered voters in order to get the measure on the ballot next year. The proposal would change the California Constitution to "eliminate the ability of married couples to get divorced in California." Couples could still ...

Do you know what happens when your spouse does not answer to the divorce petition after the 20 days are up (you have 20 days to respond in my state). My soon to be ex hasn't responded to it yet and Monday the 20 days will be up. Have any of you gotten temporary spousal support while the divorce is pending? He is not helping me out financially and I can't pay all the bills on my own. This is the most stressful thing ever! ...

I want a divorce from my husband but am so scared regarding finances that it's preventing me from doing it. We've been married 18 years, 2 teenage children, nice home. He makes good money and carries the health insurance. I've been doing this for 10+ years. He is a drinker and I think he is an alcoholic. He's never been physically violent with us, but he does scream and bitch about whatever pops into his drunken mind, and just randomly comes up w ...

I need some advice. I am an MT who works at home, and I do not have many friends since I work from home and take care of my kids. I have been married for 8 years now but my husband recently started going out to the bars, not calling me, not coming home until after bars close, etc. I am not a complete stick in the mud, but I believe that if you are married with children, what business do you have to be out in a bar until 2 in the morning?? Worse, he doesn't even call ...

My husband is thinking about leaving me. We have a 15-year-old son who will be devastated if he does. He says I don't give him enough affection and says he hasn't been happy for years. I asked him for a second chance to make things right, and he said no. Haven't spoken to eachother since yesterday morning. Praying God will soften his heart and allow me another chance. Prayers for that would be appreciated. ...

My boyfriend has 5 children. He was married to his former wife for 14 years. They have been divorced for 1 year now; separated for 3, and have 5 children together ranging from almost 13 years old to 5 years old. He had custody of them in the beginning because she abandoned them (left the state with another man)....then she was somehow able to get custody back. Anyway that really isn't the issue. The youngest (5-year-old) has been potty trained since he was 3. He rea ...

American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce..... I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on frien ...

Anybody with a minute, would appreciate your prayers. My son has been fighting for custody of his children from their meth-addicted mother. She is now homeless, and he is getting the children full-time instead of joint custody. His current wife just up and tells him she wants a divorce; doesn't want to raise his children by his other marriage. He works a week out of town and then is home a week. He is scheduled to leave for work tomorrow. My husband and I ...

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions: L: Have you any grounds? P: Yes, an acre and half and nice little home. L: No, I mean what is the foundation of this case? P: It made of co ...

He's finally had enough of this woman and I don't have to get along with her anymore and he's still young enough that I have the potential for future grandchildren oh I'm so happy! I told him, for you I'm sorry I know you loved her half your life and you're really good friends, for me I'm happy because she's a world class B and I couldn't stand her. He flew me out for their shower and their wedding and she comes from this huge Mexican family, th ...

The person who wrote this is a college (law) student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all. DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this la ...

I've decided to file for divorce on my own since I can't afford an attorney (it's completely ridiculous how much an attorney wants to handle a divorce!). I went the .gov website for my state and completed the required online education videos required when representing yourself in court. I then also downloaded and completed the provided packet of divorce papers. I then went to a notary public at my bank and had my signature notarized on all the pertinent documents ...

So, my parents divorced a few decades ago. Recently my dad signed up for Facebook, so I added him as a friend, obviously. My mom has also signed up for Facebook and wants me to add her also. NEITHER OF THEM wants me to add the other one - OR - their extended family. My dad has gotten really adamant about it. Maybe I shouldnt add either of them? argh! ...

Okay, here it goes. I have been with my husband since the age of 19 and we have been married going on 24 years. We have 3 children, ages 6 through 14. It is the classic story, we have grown apart, are different people now, just not in love with him any more. Don't get me wrong, he is a good man and a great father. He has never cheated (that I know of), not a drinker, not abusive. It is just that we have grown apart. I am about to turn 45 and have re ...

I will be married 32 years next month and never seriously considered divorcing my husband although in the past we did talk about it a couple times during rough times. I thought we came through everything and had a stable and successful marriage. However, my husband has interests I don't share, such as drinking, partying, poker, hanging out with his friends, etc. Over time I came to accept and expect that and just figured he had a bit of a Peter Pan syndrome where he never ...

to file by the end of the week. I asked my attorney about me moving out and he said it makes no difference if I live in the house or not, I still own the house and will get at least half if we sell after the past due taxes are paid. So that's good news. Now I'm off to look at the apartment down the road. I feel so upbeat today. Like I'm getting stuff accomplished and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to everyone for your good advic ...

My soon-to-be ex recently moved in with his buddy and his buddy's wife and their grandkids (whom they are raising) because his utilities were shut off because he doesn't have a job and didn't pay his bills. Long story short, he hasn't even looked for a job since moving in with his buddy. His answer to his financial woes is to try to get into a drug study where they pay you cash for being a lab rat. He has tried to get into three studies. The first stud ...

Married 12 years MAY-DECEMBER He is old enough to be her Daddy apparently the news is reporting he slept with her sister of all things! He may be a nice man with a lot of $$$$ but hey! do yall think he is all that? Says she had a problem with prescription pain killers for Migraines who knows! They have 2 litle boys. ...

Thank heavens, no children in their 11 years, but his ex won't leave him alone. She's constantly calling him wanting money or furniture, or just to hassle him. She had taken everything out of the home they once lived in and he only wound up with a kitchen table and chairs. That's it. Now she wants that back. He's going to do it hoping she will get off his back. BTW, she used to hit him when they would fight. He came over one day with red marks all over his ch ...

Michele Bachmann to lead "house call" protest. She's already been warned that Pelosi might do something to stop it. Ms. Bachman said this is "the people's" house. She can try all she wants but it's our house. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29101.html Another headline I read said- Michele Bachmann offers Nancy Pelosi a House call, plus what appears to be a free HR3962 enema". She said in another article - "This doesn't have to pass and I ...

After more than 40 years of MT'ing, I have lost 80% hearing in left ear and 10% in right ear. This, according to doc, is definitely due to constant sound assault on my ears for all of these years. I now need dual hearing aids; the left ear to compensate for severe hearing loss and the right ear to prevent hearing loss. I will be getting them within the next week. My real concern is whether I will be able to wear either my in-the-ear headset or over-the-head head ...

Both sides, i.e., can't sign up vs. can and have signed up. If you have successfully signed up, have you had a chance to actually use it, and if so, how did that go? ...

Why people hear about snow and freak out and run to the grocery store? I went to get milk and a few other things that I didn't get the other day and it was crazy. I figure as long as I have milk and food, dog and cat food and cat litter we are ok. But I tell you people hear snow and they flock to the store big time makes me laugh actually I wouldn't have gone out except that I needed milk and hamburger. ...

Eric Holder Challenged At Hearing Over AP Subpoenas, IRS Scandal WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday challenged Attorney General Eric Holder over the Justice Department's handling of the investigation of national security leaks and its failure to talk to The Associated Press before issuing subpoenas for the news service's telephone records. In exchanges that often turned testy, Holder defended the inquiry while pointing out that he had removed hims ...

It's sad. The hate coming from Franken and Whitehouse is disgusting. All the Dems are asking questions that can't be answered yes or no but don't want an explanation. Others like Franken and Whitehouse don't want a judge who follows the rule of law or the Constitution,they want a political judge and they want him to push to change law, which, as Judge Gorsuch stated over and over again "That's not my job. That's your job" (pointing out that he m ...

Hi, all. I was diagnosed last year with hearing loss and this year went back for test and there is a significant drop. They are doing a couple of tests to rule out Meniere's Disease at the end of this month. No matter what, I am going to have to get something to help me continue in this field or go with another job (nursing, coding, etc.). I am working with the Ability Works in my state and they will help me get equipment like hearing aids, specialized heatsets, etc. ...
