Can you get a simple divorce without a signature from your spouse?

Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
You don't indicate how long you were married or if alimony is an issue, but generally, you can file for divorce, serve him in prison with the papers, and if he doesn't file a response within the time set forth in the rules (generally 20 days), you can move for a default to be entered against him, and then request that the case be set for a 15 or 30 minute trial. He would have to be served with notice of the trial date and time as well.

What can be done if the divorce paper is too vague?

Answered by attorney Robert Edward McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
You only 30 days to appeal the decision to the next higher court; you don't give dates but I speculate the 30 day window has passed. You can always re-litigate the children's issues - Child Support and Time Sharing if there has been a change of circumstances. The property issues are dead unless you can show fraud; which has a high burden of proof.

How do I get my share of his investments worth a million he put under his name. We are married 49 years

Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
Dear Ms. Altman:      I am sorry you are dealing with this after 49 years.   Almost without exception, any asset, including the investments you mention, are considered marital if acquired during the marriage.  (there are some exceptions, but too complicated to get into details here).         You do not mention if there is a pending divorce.  If there is no divorce filed, there is really no way to, at this juncture, get the 50% of the asets back,other than the two of you coming to an agreement.  However, that said, it appears that he has taken "his share" of the marital assets and left you with the other 50%, which is essentially what a court would likely do.  To protect yourself, I would take ther remaining 50% and put them in an account solely in your name.  This will prevent him from taking any more of the marital assets and you having to fight to get them back.   I do not suggest you "use up" these assets, unless you need some funds for your support.      This does look like he is planning for a divorce, so it would probably benefit you to consult with an attorney at this time to learn your rights and obligations.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
