Can the court determine the divorce finalized since it’s been so long or what else can I do to finalize it?

If a response has been filed, then you can request a trial before the judge and simply ask that he rule. If you have proof that you have reached certain agreements with your ex, then you can present that as a rule 69 agreement (must be in writing and signed) and ask that the judge enter those agreements as orders. If there has not been any response filed, then you can proceed via default and ask that the judge enter a Default Decree based upon what was outlined in the initial petition. I would suggest consulting an attorney if you have more questions.

How does the length of the marriage affect spousal support?

Steven Palme'
Answered by attorney Steven Palme' (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Palme Law Firm, P.A.
It depends on the circumstances, but with the exception of very long term marriages (20+ years), a good rule of thumb for an alimony duration is about ? the length of the marriage. There are no rules about this or guidelines like there are with child support, however, so it does depend on the circumstances with each individual case. Also, the retirement and property are not part of spousal support. Those items are part of equitable distribution and that is separate from support issues.
