You should consult an attorney to discuss your options. Many will offer a free consultation. You shouldn't stay in a marriage with an ass. You have options. They may not be easy options, but you have options.

There is no legal term unless you both agree that this is the way that the assets and debts should be divided. If that is the case, then it is an uncontested divorce. You should still consult a lawyer and not try to do it yourself.
We have been married for 23 years. Last May we were having trouble paying for our house. I found a cheaper place to rent and we agreed that I would move there with our children while he spent a few months fixing up the original house to sell. We were still together as a couple, going out together,... View More

That is a complicated set of facts. The judge is likely to allow the divorce if he wants it. The courts will not generally force someone to stay married who doesn't want to be married. I think rather than worry about the grounds used in the divorce you should contact an attorney to make... View More

You should consult an attorney to figure out the best way to get a court order to allow you access to your son. He can keep him until a court order says otherwise. You too can keep him. As married parents, you have equal rights to the child.
We agree on all terms of the divorce and would like to go about this without hiring an attorney as we can not afford one.
answered on Feb 24, 2018
The court may not grant the divorce until the baby is born and DNA is done. Regardless, until DNA is done and the current husband is ruled out as the father, he will be the legal father under the law. It is not something that you should attempt without an attorney. Many will work with you on a... View More
He has been sending me threatening text about coming for me. He is an alcoholic and bipolar. Our children who are of age does not want anything to do with him. We do not have any property together. All he has to do is sign. He will not tell me where he is. Do I still need him to get a divorce.
answered on Feb 18, 2018
No, you can divorce him without him signing the paperwork. It is more difficult, but it can be done. You will need an attorney to help you though. It is more complicated when the parties don't agree.
I filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, inappropriate marital conduct, and habitual drunkennes. I'm a housewife, and we have two children, aged 6 and 10. My husband is determined to stay in the house until the divorce is final. He said his attorney advised him not to... View More

His attorney advised him to stay so that you can't say that he abandoned the house and use that as a reason for you to keep the house in the property division. There may be other ways to get him out of the house though. You should consult an attorney if you don't already have one.
them in the process. I dealt with custody and court as a child and it has bothered me my whole life.

You should consult an attorney. You may have enough to seek a modification, but more facts are needed. I am sorry that you are going through this. Co-parenting with an ex who doesn't want to play nicely can be so difficult.
I also need a lawyer to defend me

Lawyers cannot agree to help you on a forum like this. You will need to call attorneys and find one to represent you.
He was using me to get a green card.
answered on Feb 10, 2018
You should contact an attorney. The attorney can help you try to find him. If the attorney can't find him, he or she may be able to provide notice through publication in a newspaper.

The forms on the TN courts website don't fit this situation. You really need to consult a lawyer to help you. Many will work with you on a payment plan.
Children are involved and she is refusing to agree to a divorce.

He will need to proceed with a contested divorce if he and his wife can't agree to all of the terms of the divorce. He should consult an attorney to look at all the facts and advise him how best to proceed.
Her ex-husband cannot possibly be the father and will not want responsibility for the baby.
answered on Feb 8, 2018
You can try to sign a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity at the hospital, but they may not let you since she is married. Since she is married, her husband is the legal father of the baby until such time as it is proven through DNA not to be his. This can be done after the baby is born. Then... View More
