Q: how is alimony determined in penn.?
i live in nc; my husband in pa. been living apart for 2 years now. he has filed for divorce.
A: You would likely end up needing to consult a Pennsylvania attorney. If you have been served with the divorce paperwork, you should take some action ASAP. Most states have a short time frame within which to respond. In NC, it is 30 days - not sure what the time limit to respond in PA is. If you are late with your response, you might miss out on alimony and other things altogether. Also, if you have been served, depending on what is in the divorce complaint and if you have other claims like alimony. it may be more advantageous to file some or all off your claims in NC (if possible) - so you may want to consult with a local NC family law attorney first. Best of luck.
