Brooklyn, NY asked in Divorce for New York

Q: My wife is leaving me. We've been married for 10 months. She took all the animals before anything is set in stone.

She has bpd and multiple personalities. I'm pretty sure she did it to just collect alimony. No kids. Not sure what to do.

A: It sounds like you need to see a divorce lawyer. The pets are "property" to be divided in the divorce. As to alimony, since it is a very short term marriage, if your wife were to get alimony it would be for a very short time.
