If my wife lives in one state and I live in another state and we were married in a different state, how would we be able to get a divorce?

Brent R. Chipman
Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
If there are children involved, the divorce action should be filed where the children reside. If there are no minor children, either party can file for a divorce in a state where they meet the residency requirements, or they can file in the state where the spouse meets residency requirements. If you cannot agree on where the divorce should be filed, the court would consider whether either spouse has lived in the other state during the marriage, or where the acts giving rise to the divorce took place.

Can my Ex Spouse take my only childhood home of 48years and sell it

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
If the house was awarded to your ex-wife in the divorce decree, then she has the right to sell it.  You need to check the divorce decree itself as well as look at the real property records at your county clerk's office.  When you inherit real property it becomes your separate property.  In a divorce a court may only divide community property.  You may need a lawyer's help to file a Bill of Review to attempt  to overturn the award of your separate property home to your ex-wife in the divorce.  The fact that you say you "signed off on" the divorce may be a problem, however, if the decree provides that the house was awarded to your ex-wife.  Do not wait any longer to resolve the title and ownership issues with this real property.
