Q: My ex tells me that he is retiring next year. I don’t care what he says, the way that our divorce was written in Larimer
In Larimer county, the way that it was written it said nothing about him not paying me when he retired. We were married for 15 years and as far as I researched, Larimer county is the only county that does not follow the states divorce law!
He is a veterinarian who lives in wealth in the second wealthiest city in the state, Evergreen. He married a very wealthy woman. And I have done research. I am a disabled woman and I have had MS since I was 25. In other words, the divorce was his idea and my heart doesn’t bleed for him. He left me with more than $80,000 of debt! I just turned 60 and I could not afford an attorney living on a fixed income. I was homeless until my fathers special trust bought me a mobile home in Florence CO.
I think it would do me well to have an attorney represent me as we get closer to next year. And, I have no way to find an extra income, I think my manual wheelchair puts employers off? I don’t believe it should cost me much to simply have my attorney.
