Q: I've been separated from my husband for 7 years and I'm not sure if I need to file for divorce or dissolution
Our children are grown we have no real estate we have nothing to fight them out I mean he has some of my parents things that I want back but other than that I do believe he'll sign the papers with no problems we both want to move on I'm on disability and I cannot afford a full-blown attorney do you do pro bono work or legal aid
A: You can likely file for a dissolution. A dissolution is where the divorcing parties agree on everything before asking the Court to end their marriage. Most counties have packets that a couple seeking a dissolution can fill out, and many counties have help desks that can help you complete the paperwork but cannot give you legal advice. I would suggest you reach out to your husband and first make sure he will give you back the items that you want.
