Can I make my husband pay for the divorce and get spousal support?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
You should file for divorce immediately and set a hearing for spousal support and attorney fees. If he earns more, he should pay support and contribute towards your attorney fees. The longer you wait, the longer it will take you to get to court, particularly with the budget cuts that are making it slower and more expensive. Chances are they may increase filing fees again depending on the election and budget shortfalls, so do not wait. Opinion only, not legal advice.

How soon can I remarry after a divorce is finalized?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
You can remarry as soon as you receive a Notice of Entry of Judgment from the court. That document will show the date the divorce is final. You can marry any date after the date it is final. Good luck

If you pay a spouses mortgage off at one point during the marriage does this make the property half yours?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
If you are in Colorado, the limited facts you have provided suggest that the home is marital property, but that is a question that requires much more information and analysis before it would possible to predict how a judge might rule if you and your wife can't agree. The marital property label is only relevant as to the equity value of the property and there is no way to say what should or will happen if you and she cannot agree. The key point is that the name on the deed does not drive the train as to what should be done.
