If I want to get a divorce from my wife, what are my rights?

Answered by attorney Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
The property issues are quite separate from the child issues. If one of you can keep the house (whoever has been living in it), that would work. Maybe the other one can get all of his/her share of the community assets from a retirement plan, etc. In any case all assets and debts will be equitably divided. As to the children, each of you has the same rights. The parenting plan will reflect a residential arrangement that is in the best interest of the children. Child support is divided pro rata based on your respective incomes. Costs will vary depending on how much time the case takes, the specific lawyers fees and how much argument there is between the parties.

What are the legal reasons outside of infidelity and abuse that will allow me to divorce my husband?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
First things first: consult an experienced divorce lawyer in your area. In Wisconsin, the only state in which I practice, adultery and abuse have just about nothing to do with grounds for divorce. Here, the ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievable broken. It's far more civilized. But this or something similar is the rule in almost all states. Talk to a good lawyer.

I got a Divorce in 1997

Cindy S. Vova
Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
Dear Ms. Fleming: Although it has been a long time, if your divorce decree required your ex husband to obtain a life insurance policy and he has not done so, then you can file a motion to compel him to comply with the original agreement and/or motion for contempt, depending on the wording in the divorce decree. Often times insurance policies are used to secure the child support and/or alimony an ex-spouse is to receive.  Depending on the wording in the divorce decree, it is possible that if the policy was to secure child support and/or alimony and the underlying obligation has ended (i.e. your ex no longer has to pay child support or alimony) then  your ex may no longer have an obligation to keep an insurance policy in effect.  You should read over the terms of  your divorce to determine the purpose the policy was to serve in order to determine if he must still keep it in effect.  If the answer is yes, then you can go to court to try to enforce that provision. Best of luck, Cindy S. Vova Law Offices  of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. Broward/Miami-Dade: 954-316-3496 Boca Raton: 561-962-2785

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
