Where did he get deported to? Properly effectuating International Service of Process can be very expensive. You can request from the Court something known as an "Order for Alternate Service," which would allow you to serve your husband via alternate means, but considering the complexity of your situation (because he was deported), you really should consider retaining a lawyer to assist you in this difficult process.

Do I need to continue carrying medical insurance on my wife once we are legally seperated

John W. Havins
Answered by attorney John W. Havins (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Havins & Associates, PC
You asked: Do I need to continue carrying medical insurance on my wife once we are legally separated If the two of you have separated, and neither of you has filed for divorce, and there are no orders entered by a court, then you may not have to carry health insurance. If the two of you have separated, and one of you has filed for divorce, there may be an order requiring that you continue carrying health insurance. The danger in canceling your wife's health insurance policy is that if she has an medical issue and incurs significant expenses, you be held liable by a divorce court to pay for a portion of those expenses. Continuing to carry her on your health insurance policy is relatively cheap compared to the expense if she has a problem. You may want to ask her to pay all or a portion of the premium attributable to her. Also, you may want to try to get credit in a final settlement of the amount you paid towards her coverage. I strongly recommend that you visit with and retain an attorney. Stu Shafer

Is there a way I can obtain my money from my father during their divorce and is it worth it regarding legal fees?

It must have been a Uniform Transfer to Minors Account (UTMA) that he spent. If it is, then you would have to sue him and prove that it was not spent for your benefit or with your consent. It would likely cost substantially more than $3,000 to bring a case like that to trial. I am not aware of any statutory authority allowing you to claim attorney's fees for having to bring suit.
