Can I go through a divorce all by myself?

Answered by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden
Divorce lawyer at GordenLaw, LLC
Because of the assets you described (real property and retirement), you need a lawyer. The documents needed to finalize the property division are not available on the pro se web sites (such as Qualified Domestic Relations Orders to divide retirement). It is really worth seeing a lawyer for at least a consultation to determine your strategy. Some lawyers offer limited representation if you are concerned about costs.

Unless your husband does so voluntarily, you will have to pursue the divorce in order to divide the account and have the court enter a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). Depending on the terms of the Plan, you husband may not even be permitted to make any withdrawals without a QDRO and even if he can, he won't get the tax and penalty waivers that occur when the withdrawal is due to divorce.

Can I change states during a consent divorce?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
It depends upon the child custody issues.. If your soon to be ex consents in writing it will be ok.. if not its potentially a long and arduous process.. I recently got permission over the objections of a 50-50 custodial parent (physical and legal custody) to allow my client to move with her daughter to Italy.. but it took a very long time (almost a year) and 5 full day court hearings.
