I filed for a legal separation in 2004 but never went to court, am I still legally separated?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
If you didn't carry the petition to judgment back in 2004, the case may have been dismissed after five years. The best thing to do is check with the court to see if the file is still open. You are still legally married until you have a judgment of dissolution of marriage. It is illegal for you to remarry until that happens.

What can I do to make sure my husband pays me alimony when he divorces me?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
Hire a good attorney yourself, use any funds from the marriage. If you don't have access to any of your checking, savings, or investment accounts from which to hire an attorney, you will need to either get a loan from someone or find an attorney who will take your case with a minimal retainer and immediately file for spousal support and attorney fees to be paid by him. If there are community funds sitting somewhere, the attorney can be paid from those. If not, then hopefully he brings in much more income than you do. If your incomes are very different, the court will order him to pay you spousal support and order him to pay at least part of your attorney fees.

If my vehicle is in my father's name, can the courts force me to sell it during a divorce?

The community has an interest in the vehicle. The court could order you to "buy out" your husband's interest. It depends on your judge whether he orders it sold but the court may not have jurisdiction to order it sold.
