Legal Answers
8 Questions Answered
Q. If I create a separate bank account for my SS with only my name on the account will my spouse get after divorce
A: It depends. If the money you put in the account was martial property, the court could divide or award it to your spouse. Marital property is any property that was regularly used for the common benefit of the marriage. Contact a local attorney to assist you in your divorce.
Q. My husband filed divorce papers and has been keeping our child away from me what can I do?
A: If you have been served with the papers, check to see if the Judge has acutally issued an ex parte custody order. if so, contact your attorney and file an answer and counterclaim seeking custody. The judge will set a hearing within a couple of weeks to determine which of you should have temporary custody. If no order has been granted, you still have equal rights. Contact a local attorney to advise you on how to proceed.
Q. If I am not able to pay for the divorce can my spouse be required to pay the fee
A: It depends. Attorney's fees are awarded in the nature of alimony. So if you meet the criteria for alimony, yes the court could. It varies greatly between judges but it is possible. Contact an attorney in your county for a better idea of what to expect.
