I'm very sorry for what you are dealing with. Here is some advice for you today. I would go through the yellow pages and call a lawyer who will see you for a free consultation. I have done this, twice. You are obligated to do nothing. You just go in, ask the basic questions, and pay nothing. He or she will give you a card and you can retain them in the future if you need to. What you gain from this is free legal advice straight from the horse's mouth. Bring a notepad and a pen, and take notes if you must. I did this, as I was so nervous and scared that I was even DOING this, I was afraid I would not be able to remember anything he said. I don't think you have to sign anything against your will. If your H. presents you with a sep. agreement and you don't sign, then you just delay the process. He can't force you to sign anything, as far as I know. But please, get a free consultation and learn more about it. Knowledge is power. Hugs. Hope
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
