Do I only get half until day we divorced or does it accumulate interest or get half of all retirement when she retires?

Normally it is at the date of divorce. You should make sure there is a QDRO in place though. If she retires and no QDRO you can be out of luck.

How do I file a civil union divorce for gay couple who are living in different states?

Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
Florida does not recognize gay marriage, and therefore will not grant a divorce to a couple lawfully married in a state that does recognize gay marriage. If the state in which you presently does not recognize gay marriage, and therefore offer gay divorce, your options are limited. If the state in which your former partner resides does recognize it, you may be able to work out an agreement and then invoke the jurisdiction of the court in his state based upon their residency there (if they meet the residency requirements). If neither of you reside in a state that recognizes gay marriage and therefore gay divorce, it is more complicated. You should consult with an attorney.

What can I do if my wife just abandoned me?

Dennis Marston Slate
Answered by attorney Dennis Marston Slate
Divorce lawyer at Slate Associates Attorneys at Law
In Texas a spouse can divorce their spouse without a cause. Texas is a no fault state. If you have children with her, you need to file for divorce where you live quickly to prevent your wife from filing where ever she moved to and forcing you to defend yourself there. The same could also be said even if you do not have kids together, since it is easier and less costly for you to deal with a lawsuit close to where you live rather than where she lives.
