12 year marriage, school and student loans three years before divorce. Are both parties responsible for the debt incurred?

In general student loan debt "follows the education", i.e. the spouse who used the borrowed funds to finance their schooling would be assigned the debt. Your fact description would offer no reason for this rule not to apply.

Where do I file for divorce and where do I have the best chance of maintaining my custody and no spousal support?

Stephen Marc Drucker
Answered by attorney Stephen Marc Drucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
California is a 'no fault' state as are most states in the USA.  If the children are living with you currently and you reside in CA (lived here at least 6 months & in the county at least 3 months) then you can file for divorce here.  She will be served in the state in which she resides. Since the children live with you, and are residents here, you can address custody in CA as well.  It would be best to discuss your specific case with the attorney so you understand your rights and options with regard to support and custody.  We can help with this if you wish to call us.

Am I required to give her anything on my settlement, and if so do I have to agree on a percentage now? What’s a good low percentage, if so?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
Generally speaking, any portion of your settlement that is for lost wages or property damage is considered "community" and should be equitably divided in your divorce (this usually means equally). Any portion of your settlement that is for pain and suffering is considered "separate" and should not be divided in your divorce.
