Q: When filing for a divorce what all paperwork is needed to be taken to the attorney?
We live in the same house, but he’s a truck driver and is only home on weekends. We have not slept in the same bed in 17 years. He has sever ED and so we have not had sexual relations in 17 years. HOWEVER I have been faithful the entire time. In fact we don’t sleep in the same room. The only things that I want is my SUV that’s the oldest vehicle but it has to be put into my name only. I want the dog because he can’t take care of it. I want my maiden name returned to me. I will pay my personal credit cards and cell phone bills. And of course I want my personal items. I want the house and the Time Investment loans put into his name only. He can pay his own cellphone, credit cards and car loan. I only have my social security check but I DO NOT want alimony. I just want him to take all community property plus his personal debts since I know that he can pay for them. Plus he will need to put the utilities in his name also.
A: The outcome for your divorce that you have described seems reasonable. Your attorney will tell you what is needed for the attorney to fill out the required forms to file with the court - mostly bank account statements and other financial information, tax returns, monthly income and expenses, both for you and your spouse. Also provide the list of household and personal items and items you want. Call the attorney and ask what to provide. If you don't have an attorney, use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local divorce attorney to assist you. Best wishes.
