Will finding that my husband was not divorced but just legally separated from previous marriage make our marriage legal and valid?

Jeffrey Wittenbrink
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Wittenbrink
Divorce lawyer at Wittenbrink Law Firm
A person's failure to complete a divorce terminating a marriage renders a subsequent marriage null and void in Louisiana. A previous marriage is an impediment to getting legally married in Louisiana. The second spouse does not have to file for divorce, the marriage is simply null. Some clients prefer to take action to have a court declare the marriage invalid for purposes of public notice, but it is not necessary. If a person is not aware that their spouse was still married and not divorced, and married that person in good faith, they have rights as a "putative spouse" which may include rights for support and maintenance, and property rights regarding property obtained by that couple. The previous spouse has rights as well, including a continuing interest in community property such as pensions, retirement accounts, etc. The still-married and married again spouse may have criminal liability under the bigamy statutes, and could certainly be divorced for adultery if the second marriage were consummated. A person involved in this relationship, in any of the positions-first spouse, second spouse or twice married spouse should seek legal counsel immediately to sort out their rights and options.

Do you think I can receive alimony?

Mandy J. McKellar
Answered by attorney Mandy J. McKellar (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Mandy J. McKellar
A lot of this will depend on the need for alimony, what kind of alimony and the ability to pay. NRS 125.150 states in part: 8. In addition to any other factors the court considers relevant in determining whether to award alimony and the amount of such an award, the court shall consider: (a) The financial condition of each spouse; (b) The nature and value of the respective property of each spouse; (c) The contribution of each spouse to any property held by the spouses pursuant to NRS 123.030; (d) The duration of the marriage; (e) The income, earning capacity, age and health of each spouse; (f) The standard of living during the marriage; (g) The career before the marriage of the spouse who would receive the alimony; (h) The existence of specialized education or training or the level of marketable skills attained by each spouse during the marriage; (i) The contribution of either spouse as homemaker; (j) The award of property granted by the court in the divorce, other than child support and alimony, to the spouse who would receive the alimony; and (k) The physical and mental condition of each party as it relates to the financial condition, health and ability to work of that spouse. 9. In granting a divorce, the court shall consider the need to grant alimony to a spouse for the purpose of obtaining training or education relating to a job, career or profession. In addition to any other factors the court considers relevant in determining whether such alimony should be granted, the court shall consider: (a) Whether the spouse who would pay such alimony has obtained greater job skills or education during the marriage; and (b) Whether the spouse who would receive such alimony provided financial support while the other spouse obtained job skills or education. 10. If the court determines that alimony should be awarded pursuant to the provisions of subsection 9: (a) The court, in its order, shall provide for the time within which the spouse who is the recipient of the alimony must commence the training or education relating to a job, career or profession. (b) The spouse who is ordered to pay the alimony may, upon changed circumstances, file a motion to modify the order. (c) The spouse who is the recipient of the alimony may be granted, in addition to any other alimony granted by the court, money to provide for: (1) Testing of the recipient's skills relating to a job, career or profession; (2) Evaluation of the recipient's abilities and goals relating to a job, career or profession; (3) Guidance for the recipient in establishing a specific plan for training or education relating to a job, career or profession; (4) Subsidization of an employer's costs incurred in training the recipient; (5) Assisting the recipient to search for a job; or (6) Payment of the costs of tuition, books and fees for: (I) The equivalent of a high school diploma; (II) College courses which are directly applicable to the recipient's goals for his or her career; or (III) Courses of training in skills desirable for employment.

Can I get a divorce if my spouse lives in Florida and refuse to sign?

Sheri Smallwood
Answered by attorney Sheri Smallwood (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Sheri Smallwood Chartered
The only entity which can give you a divorce is a court of law. A spouse cannot give you a divorce or refuse to do so. That is simply not a power a spouse has under Florida law. So long as one of the spouses has lived in Florida for at least 6 months prior to filing, either spouse can petition the Court for a divorce (called a dissolution of marriage in Florida). The spouse who lives in Florida does not need to be the one to file the case. The spouse filing the petition must testify that the marriage is irretrievably broken in order for the divorce to be granted. The other spouse cannot stop or delay the divorce by claiming it is not irretrievably broken.
