Can you be divorced after being widowed?

Rita Jean Jencks
Answered by attorney Rita Jean Jencks (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Jencks Law Firm P.L.L.C.
No, you cannot get or be subsequently divorced from a deceased spouse. There is no need. I don't know what your mother-in-law's motives are except possibly to try to cut you out of your wife's estate and any possible benefits due you based upon her death. Such as an award due to a car wreck or work place injury. I would need more information to more accurately determine that, however, the important thing is you are not eligible for divorce for any reason due to your wife's death. Sorry you are having to face such an issue so soon after your wife's death.

What are my rights while I get divorced?

You have a very complex issue which is not subject to simplification on the internet. You need a lawyer sooner rather than later.

For an ncontested divorce, what happens if I do not file a pettition response?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Troy T Gorman (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gorman Law Group, PC
If you do not file a response to the complaint for divorce, a default will be entered against you by the court. The judge could, with or without the prompting of your wife, change what you have agreed to do with your wife. A default and any changes that are made as part of the default could negatively impact your rights and obligations after the divorce, including your ability to ask for any modifications later. With that said, if you and your wife have agreed on everything (and it sounds like you have), then I would suggest you consult an attorney to make sure that what you have agreed to actually gets entered in an order as agreed.? An attorney in my office, Cassandra A. Zaas, Esq. specializes in family law and divorce cases and, although no often done, will sometimes sit down with a husband and wife and go over what they have agreed to and reduce the agreement to a "consent judgement" that can be entered with the Court. This is a good way to save money, and yet make sure that what you both want actually gets done. The fee for this would be a flat rate of $500.00, for which she would draft and file the response to the complaint on your behalf, have a conference with you and your wife, draft the Consent Judgement, and if necessary appear in court to assist you and the court with any questions. If this interests you and your wife, please feel free to contact my office.
