First and foremost: I know nothing about the law of Egypt except that it, too, is inherited from the British.

You've mixed a lot of legal issues here. Your immigration status isn't really relevant to your divorce questions. If you want a divorce, you should file for divorce. You can request spousal support and anything else you believe you are entitled to. Note that the length of the marriage... Read more »

If she has an attorney and you don't you will likely be at a disadvantage. Don't risk it.
It was purchased while we were together but not married yet
answered on Jun 28, 2022
As always, it depends. What was the arrangement between your wife and her mother in the purchase of the home, did your wife use premarital money to make payments towards the home (taxes, maintenance, mortgage, etc.) during the marriage, or did you have a premarital or postmarital agreement...

The asker must file for divorce. In the worst case, the asker may die, and her husband will inherit an intestate share of her property assuming the asker does not have a will. Even if the asker had a will, the husband could get his elective share of the asker's property. Saying there is no... Read more »

There is no question posed here. However, assuming the question has to do with how to change venue, the asker should retain counsel. The process involves filing a motion with the wrong court asking it to transfer the case to the correct court. Reasoning has to be "legal"; witnesses are... Read more »

Who leaves after a domestic argument and do I have any right to the home?

Also, you might have an argument for staying in the house until you are divorced,... Read more »
I didn't recive letter yet . Is his file can be hold or do I need hire lawyer? What do I need expect
answered on Jun 26, 2022
He can put the divorce on hold, If you have not been served you do not need to worry.
My filing was rejected "Rejected because this needs to be filed in the state and county where the defendant lives. Will not serve outside of county."
answered on Jun 26, 2022
No, you cannot file Georgia divorce papers in Ohio. Also, it is possible to file for divorce here even if your spouse does not live here. Contact an attorney for assistance.
I purchased a piece of property before we were married. I know Colorado is a community property state. If I have a rental agreement with my husband would I have to split the appreciation of the property for the 3 years we have been married if we divorce? I pay all of the mortgage and property...

Colorado is NOT a Community property state. Marital property is to be divided "equitably", which means "fairly', not necessarily "equally". The appreciation that occurs during the marriage is marital property. I do not think a rental agreement would make any... Read more »
Separation is not legal and against my will. What would be the consequences on the day of oat ceremony? Also, I have a 6 months old daughter for whom I am providing adequate support. I do not want to proceed with filing divorce yet. But the more I wait, I will lose my chances of primary custody.... Read more »

In your situation, since you are soon to get sworn in as a US citizen, the fact that your wife has separated from you would not be of any consequence at this time. As long as you are still legally married, which it sounds like you are, you should be good to go for your naturalization. USCIS has... Read more »
We bought our home together and are both in the loan but we’re getting divorced but we decided to keep the property in both of our names anyway

What does that mean? Certified copy of the law? What are you trying to get?
My husband is bipolar and when he has a full blown manic episode, the first thing he wants is a divorce. This time he filed a week before being admitted for a 14 day mental hold through VA. I'm hoping to hold out until his mood stabilizes, but am concerned about time limits. Any help provided... Read more »

Hello, generally it is possible to back out of a Marital Settlement Agreement if it is done before the judge approves it and enters a Final Judgment. Considering that three years have gone by since the document was drafted and the divorce has not been finalized, it is likely you could argue for a... Read more »
(continued) name. My husband at the time of birth was not present and lived in another state. Did the hospital legally have to provide paperwork to me (mother) to prove that my husband was not the father and so that the child can take the biological father’s last name?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
If you were married, the child was not born out-of-wedlock, so the child is considered legitimate and the child of your husband. The hospital does not have to prove otherwise.
Been 3 weeks and she has been told multiple times

Is the divorce finalized? If not, this issue needs to be addressed in court.
My soon to be ex-wife and I have agreed to a settlement payment but are awaiting final judgment from the Florida court. Is it possible (or unreasonable) to receive said settlement payment prior to the final judgment? And if so, what would be sufficient evidence of that advance payment to satisfy... Read more »
answered on Jun 21, 2022
As long as the two of you are in agreement the payment can be exchanged anytime. Keep proof like any other payment (copy of a check, bank computer entry, etc.) I am assuming that the final judgment that you are waiting for says that the payment is a specific amount. Have the receiver sign something... Read more »

The only difference between this situation and others is that your husband is incarcerated. To get a divorce, file papers as you normally would and serve him with the papers. The service of process part is probably what you are concerned about. You simply file the papers here in Florida and hire a... Read more »

Property acquired before marriage is not subject to division as marital property in divorce, so long as you can prove the property pre-dated your marriage and was not in part paid for or contributed to with funds earned after you married, which would result in converting at least some portion of...
