Q: How do I file for a divorce due to the fact I can't pay for it. I have been separated 10 years
We have been separated 10 years. I have asked him to pay for it and he refuses to. He owns his own business as well. He admitted to marrying me because he was gonna do 20 years in prison. I wanna get it asap and also get alamony or half of his assets since we are still legally married.
A: Have you looked in to your local legal aid or the self help center in your county's courthouse? Given that you've been separated 10 years, you may not have much grounds for spousal support.
