Can a divorce lawyer fees be paid from the divorce ?

Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
Yes. You can make an application to the court for preliminary attorney fees if there is a big income disparity, and you may also be entitled to temporary maintenance, immediately.

Will I have to pay more in spousal support because I married my wife over a decade ago?

Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
The amount would not be higher, but it will be considered a long term marriage and the duration of the support can be longer.

Notorized Divorce Agreement Not Filed

Morghan Leia Richardson
Answered by attorney Morghan Leia Richardson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richardson Legal PLLC
It sounds like you and he signed a separation agreement and if that was properly signed and executed before a notary, then it is a legally binding contract, regardless of whether it was filed. There could be other issues that might lead to a separation agreement being found invalid, but you would have to challenge the agreement. Regardless, issues involving custody or visitation are always subject to modification. Really, all of these issues are extremely complicated and you are better served lining up some attorneys to consult with, rather than trying to piece it together on an online Q&A forum. Good luck!
