Q: My husband wants a divorce. He has moved out of the house. What shall I do?
He has been gone for six months but he has agreed to continue to pay the mortgage and our car payments. I suspect infidelity but I don't have proof. What will be the right approach for me in this matter
A: The right approach will depend a lot on what your goals are. Because the two of you are living separately from each other now, you could file an action for separate support and maintenance with the Family Court, regardless of whether you have proof of adultery. A lawyer experienced with divorces can best advise you on what the best course of action is to accomplish your goals.
