A: Who cares what your wife states? What matters is what a Judge states in a Court order. You see, your wife doesn't get to dictate the terms of the divorce. She files a divorce complaint and asks for what she wants. You are suppose to respond to the divorce complaint and state why she shouldn't get it and then a Judge will decide. Of course this is the silly expensive way to do things but sometimes you don't have a choice if you have a spouse who won't be reasonable and work with you on a fair settlement of marital issues.
