I've got some questions that if someone can help with I'd sure appreciate.
The governor of my state is supposedly about to sign a 'No Fault' divorce bill into legislation. Can someone tell me what that would entail? I knew what the prior laws were, but this changes them.
If I am to be divorced it will be because my H initiates it. He has done nothing legally about it besides his initial talk with our lawyer in the beginning. H was under (and still may be) that we would use one lawyer in this. I have not told him that that will not be my intention and that I will retain an attorney of my own. Since it will be him that does, I will ask that he pays attorney fees.
I have not consulted a L yet mainly because I do not have the money to retain one at this time. Everything is separate at this time except one joint account which H puts the child support into. H has faithfully paid the max w/o a problem. I take care of all of the utilities out of my pay for the house. The utilities are in H's name. I'm giving him money for them and have no problem with it. (I do record it though.) I have told him several times to give me the statements with the account numbers on them so I can call and get them switched into my name. S26 mentioned it again to H today and H told him he didn't know how easy that would be. Has anybody done this before a divorce took place? I just don't think it would be that difficult getting them switched, but maybe I'm wrong.
Also, in the beginning of this H said he would continue to pay my car insurance. Car is titled in H's name. I paid the last two installments. It has come due again and the statement came here. S26 took it to his father. (work in the same place) and H made the statement, "Yeah, I have to get that separated." I don't know if he still intends on paying it after it's separated or not. Do I ask him his intentions as I am tapped with taking care of the house.
