He arranged for his sister & brother-in-law to fly down, pick him up + his truck, trailer & fishing boat and drive them all back to Ind. where he was to sell it all to his nephew. 2 hours before the arrived he told me he was giving his POA to his sister & that she had our divorce papers drawn up so he could sign them when he got there. He never did. What can I do now, if I divorce him for leaving, am I abusing a cancer patient ?
A: You are focusing on the wrong person. Stop worrying about your (soon to be ex) husband and start taking care of yourself. Whether he abandoned you or not is irrelevant. The State of Florida does not require any reason for divorce. Locate a divorce lawyer in the Springhill area and start the proceedings yourself.
