The Superior Court's website contains a self-help link which includes a list of the steps in a divorce. Otherwise, hire an attorney who will take those steps for you and on your behalf.
I was divorced in 2009 and my lawyer who has since passed away did a QDRO but not the DOPO which is required for me to get my half of ten years of his retirement. I just found all this out as he just retired from the Ohio state highway patrol

New York does not recognize common law marriage. Spousalsupport can not be granted if the couple is not legally married.

New York does not recognize common law marriage therefore no spousal support would be ordered. However, if you own property together you may want to contact an attorney to determine if you have a case for small claim, Constructive trust or partition.
In GA, I was told that spousal support and other financial responsibilities are not on the table during divorce when the married couple has no biological children together.

What you were told is not true. Spousal support is not dependent on children being born and raised during the marriage. It is the spouse's need and the other spouse's ability to pay, among other factors.

You are not still married. You are divorced. Given how much time has passed, you cannot do anything about your ex-husband lying to the court. You may, however, be able to correct your name on your divorce decree by hiring an attorney to file a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc.

Financial disclosure is mandatory in a divorce case. The attorney could simply get a subpoena if you do not cooperate.

There are two types of agreements that may pertain to your situation.

Post nuptial agreements are similar to prenuptial agreements... Read more »
