I have not been served papers yet. She will need to file for some type of ground for divorce. There will be a temporary hearing within 21 days of complaint filed. I will have to respond to the complaint point by point. All property, spousal support and child support will be decided temporarily. There will be a final hearing several weeks after the temporary hearing and then usually you can have a separation agreement which is final at one year or do nothing. The problem is if it becomes no fault after 1 year then she can come in and ask for more spousal ssupport or child support. In any case I am not trying to control her but I am trying to look out for me because I am 55 years old and now she will get half of my retirement. I will have to work longer and retire later.
