Question #220: I married my husband in the summer of 2009. We separated after 5 months of being married. We never legally separated but it has been almost 3 years now and no divorce. I filed for a divorce last June with a lawyer I thought to be legit, I paid him $1000 and signed some papers. My husband NEVER got the papers the so called lawyer told me he was going to sent him and I NEVER got an index number (which I learned recently I needed to obtain one)… I thought the divorce would have been done by now. I called the “Lawyer” and the number has been disconnected. I wrote an e-mail and I would get a post master in return saying that e-mail doesn’t exist and finally I went to his “Office” and it was one of those rental offices in fancy Park Ave and 5th NO ONE has seen him or heard from him in MONTHS. I called the County Clerk in the Bronx and no one can give me any information. Thinking that the divorce was in process I have moved to Puerto Rico in October, My husband is in New York City. I had to make a new life out here but with this marriage is tying me down. Can I still try to get a divorce while living in Puerto Rico even though I was married in NYC?

As long as one of you is still living in NY you can file in NY. Please call me at 212-370-1660 to discuss the matter greater length. Leonard M. Weiner, Esq./Divorce Solutions

Question #219: Living in PA. I filed for divorce over two years ago. My wife bought me out of house. We agreed if she paid me 20,000 she could have house. So she went and got a bank loan and I signed off on the house. She is now sole owner. But as far as the marriage, nothing has been done. She wants to remarry. Is that against the law. Does paperwork need to be signed even though I’m the one that filed.

Until you file all of the necessary Divorce Papers with the County Clerk And get a Judgment of Divorce from a judge who has jurisdiction over your matter, you are still married. She will be committing Bigamy if she marries someone else w/o getting a legal divorce. Leonard Weiner, Esq./Divorce Solutions

Question #218: Hi, I have a friend who has been married for 8 years. He wants to divorce his wife. He’s just not happy with her anymore. They have two children together and he by no means wants to loose his children. The wife refuses to sign the divorce papers. What are his options?

He can sit down with her and explain that the marriage cannot continue. Either they decide to mediate the divorce and file an uncontested divorce or He will be forced to file a contested divorce, but either way the marriage will not continue. If he is living in the NYC metro area, please have him […]

Question #217: I have been married six months and with my partner for a total of a year and 4 months. He just told me he doesn’t want to have children, a discussion we had before we got married. We made a life plan that he is reneging on. Is this ground for an annulment. We were married in New York State, I’m American, he’s Spanish. We live in Abu Dhabi. I want this to be cheap, quick and painless. Thanks!

You or your spouse must be a resident of NY state for a year before NY will have jurisdiction over your matter. If you are living in Abu Dhabi you may qualify to apply for a divorceor annulment there. Leonard Weiner, Esq./Divorce Solutions
