Jurisdiction

Hi. My wife and I lived in NJ for the last several years and she still lives there (in a house I’m still paying for), although I’ve moved back into NYC. We initially lived together in NYC for about 7 years after we were married and before we moved out to NJ. We were actually married in Texas, although we never established residence there. We are amicably separated and have discussed divorce as the next logical step. The most difficult aspect is that she’s still financially dependent on me and unable (or unwilling) to work. So I think we need help mapping out a mutually agreeable plan. I have a couple of questions: – You don’t mention costs on your website. Can you please tell me about how much your solutions typically cost? – Do you actually help with the paperwork for the lawsuit? Or do you only do mediation services? And if so, how much are those costs? – I’m not really sure which state’s laws we need to be concerned about. Would I be better off finding a lawyer in NJ? – What’s next? Thanks

I am about to be served with divorce papers. My husband and I were married in Brevard County, Florida. He is originally from Monroe County, New York. He is a Florida resident. We moved to Rochester in December 2006 and I left in January 2007 because of his temper and physical nature. He has filed for divorce in monroe county. What are my rights, are they Florida laws, or New York laws. We also sold a vehicle that belonged to myself and was only in my name and purchased a new vehicle in his name. Am i entitled to ask the court for alimony or some kind of arrangement for him to get me a vehicle for transportation so that i have a means to work. I am not working and havent much since I have been in Florida for the reason of a vehicle. I am living with my sister and her family and I believe it would be most helpful if there is any advise that you can give me before I sign the divorce papers. I believe it should have been my husbands responsibility to help me out financially as the reason I left New York was for the abuse. While in Florida i have called the police several times for domestic violence but i dropped the charges. Can you please help in any way?

We were married in NY five years ago and then moved to CT soon after. Is it possible for me to remain in CT- but use a NY lawyer? I feel that NY is a better place to get a divorce in.

I know you guys are probably swamped with questions about divorce and I hate to add to it but I can’t really get a straight answer. I am in the military stationed in Virginia. I was married in New York 2 years ago, but only lived with my spouse for about a month before we called it quits. Go figure. I have met someone else and would like to get on with my life but her and I are still legally married even though I haven’t seen or even talked to her in almost 2 years. I want to know if I can file for a no-fault divorce in Virginia even though I am a New York resident and was married in New York? Thank you for your time.
