Hello I want a divorce, my husband doesn't and I can only afford a dissalution. can you tell me what I can do

Question

we have 4 kids together. I just want to get this over with its been going on almost 2 years. I have limited funds and 5 kids.

Answer 1

The holidays can be a very emotional time. If he wants to try and work it out and there are no true abuse issues going on (including physical, emotional, infidelity, etc) maybe you should wait until after the holidays and try some marital counseling? Your kids need their dad!

Answer 2

You can file for divorce on your own, citing "inconsoliable differences". However, if there are other factors contributing to your wanting a divorce--such as your husband has a drinking problem, is abusive, etc. you should include this in the divorce papers.

I am sorry to tell you that since you have four children together there will be the custody battles which will take time and money. You can contact various government agencies to look for attorneys that may work for the government or are associated with government and offer lower rates based on the financial situation of the individual.

During or after the divorce, I would suggest you file for spousal support, and most certainly child support. Child support will require your ex-husband to pay a certain amount until your children reach eighteen so that they can be fed, schooled, clothed, etc. Spousal support will extend a certain amount of time, this time laid down and dictated by the court. Spousal support will entail your ex paying you so that you can afford living expenses. The latter support will not last forever, though, and when the terms set by the court have expired, you will have to support yourself through other means. The child support will continue, however.

In the United States, you should not be forced to remain in a marriage you wish to leave. This is a form of holding you in a burdensome situation against your will, and your husband's will cannot override your own in this regard. You will get your divorce, but on what terms I cannot assure you of---it is not the actual divorce you should be concerned of, but the custody of the children and the amount of spousal support paid to you.

Answer 3

Dissolution IS divorce, hon. Divorce is cheap, if he as well wants out, and you have no estate to divide and he agrees on a child support funding to you, or whateve arangements you and he have made already and agree to. The cheapest way is to download papers from the internet, fill them out yourselves, both sign and file at your county courthouse.... filing fee about $15 in most states. Best way, however, is to hire a mediating attorney(find one in the yellow pages under attorneys - divorce - mediating) have him fill them and file for you, that way he can ask you if what you have agreed to is indeed true, and he therefore mediates any little (read again, little ) things you don't quite understand. Cost usually $75-300.

Answer 4

Why the he11 did you have 5 kids with a man who you didn't get along with? Don't give me that "he changed" line. People don't change over night. I think you need to work on your marriage rather then try and give up. This is why marriage does not mean anything now and days. Marriage means FOREVER not "Until you get bored of the person"

Answer 5

Dissolution IS divorce. Disolving the marriage.

Answer 6

Dissolution is the same as divorce. you can fill the paper work out yourself and the cost is minimal as long as you are willing to negotiate with your husband.

Answer 7

Try coming to terms with him. This the Christmas season. Forgive him and pray for God's help and guidance

Answer 8

A dissolution is just as final as any other divorce.

Answer 9

research and file your own.
