Six months ago my husband left our house and did not return. He did not tell me he was leaving and has not contacted me since. I have no idea where he is living now. We do not have any children and the only property we own together is the house I am living in. Can I get a divorce from him based on abandonment? If so, how long does he have to be gone for me to qualify for the divorce? Will the judge be able to transfer the title of the house from our joint names to just my name? How long does the uncontested divorce process usually take? I live in Richmond, Virginia.
I am divorcing my wife and she is threatening to contest our prenuptial agreement. We wrote the agreement ourselves before we married and she knew exactly what she would get and what she would be giving up if we did divorce. Now she is claiming she didn’t understand her rights and didn’t know she could contact a lawyer to review it before signing it. I believe the agreement is fair and neither of us had an attorney so there was no advantage that either of us had over the other. What do I need to show the court to have this prenup enforced in the divorce? I stand to lose a lot of money and property if this agreement is thrown out. Does it matter that she didn’t consult an attorney?
I’ve been married for 27 years and was a stay at home mom most of that time. My husband is from Turkey and has a high level job with the U.S. government in Washington, DC. He earns a lot of money but does not share it with me. He is very controlling and verbally abusive. After years of this I was very unhappy and had a relationship with another man who was kind to me and supportive. My husband recently found out about this and says he will now divorce me and because of my infidelity, I will get nothing from him. I have no college education and currently no way to support myself. Will my unfaithfulness disqualify me from receiving any alimony or other financial support from him? Will it make a difference if I can prove that my relationship occurred as a result of my husband’s abusive and controlling behavior?
