My husband verbally abused me and manipulated me
answered on Jun 26, 2024

I married my ex wife, who lives in Israel, in the US. Our divorce was finalized in Israel. I have had them apostilled by the Secretary of State in TN already but I'm not sure if I need to file them with the court here to have it recognized before I can get remarried.

You do not just file for an annulment. It takes alot of proof to have no marriage declared, so they are almost nonexistent. Divorce will be your cause of action. Without proof of adultery or physical abuse, you will need an agreement about all property, children and debts. Hire an attorney.

That is probably up to the bondsman, who you should call as you are his prisoner. If the bondsman asks the Court to exonerate him, then the Judge may set a bond or possibly release you on your own recognizance. But 4 years is a long time not to go to trial. Talk to your lawyer. Be ready with a... View More

As far as the County Clerk is concerned (that is who handles motor vehicle titles in Tennessee), upon learning of your dad's passing, they will consider your mother to be the owner. That is because it sounds like they never updated the title during the divorce like they (probably) should... View More

Hire a TN attorney to file the Divorce. Defendant may agree to IR Divorce, but if not you will need grounds. In a contested DV, she will discover the Pension property and claim it is marital property. If you cannot get her to agree to an IR DV prior to filing, you may not want to file the DV.

That short marriage does not give you an interest in his separate properties. Instead you should have your lawyer demand what you need to transition for the next five years, and not agree to an ID divorce until you get what you want. Without an agreement, he will have to prove grounds for the... View More

I assume the $1,000 does not include your filing fees, service fee, publication fee, or the ad litem’s fee.
Even then, $1,000 is awfully skinny to start a divorce case particularly if the attorney knew in advance you didn’t know where your wife is.
While you can sue, you might... View More
He marked "hand directly to parent" on the papers and when I mentioned this to him he said he's just going to wait for them to come out of his check on its own. Do I need to take him back to court or what do I do because he doesn't want to pay it and the papers was filed March 2, 2023.

It sounds like you did not go to Court, so you do not know what if anything is going on. Call Court and find out when the divorce decree was entered. Order for CS starts then. If no case at Court, then you are not divorced. If CS is not paid, then you must file a Petition to hold him in... View More

Yes... He can accept value evidence or reject it. It could be grounds for appeal or a post trial motion. His discretion will be given alot of credence.

Hire an attorney to represent you. The pleadings need to be right, especially the MDA and Judgment. You better check your title also. Once agreed and signed, he does not need to go to Court.

He can claim the appreciation in value since the marriage should be divided as marital property. Likewise you can argue the increase in his plan's value since marriage is marital property. You need an attorney when engaging in such a legal suit, as you could lose valuable properties.

You will probably have to wait until you can afford an attorney and the Court Costs before you can get your Divorce. Your present MDA might be used later if it is proper.

If you have a Dissolution Agreement that you like, then submit that to the Court for entry. It makes no difference what the earlier pleadings say. The Final Decree is what counts.

Hire an attorney to file the Divorce. If not agreed to then you must have grounds. Part of the agreement should be execution by you of the Quit Claim Deed of your interest to him.
