In order for the divorce to go through, he will have to prove that he has served a copy of the complaint on you.  You will have to make sure that the court orders that the insurance stay in place until the divorce is finalized.

How can I keep most of our assets in the divorce settlement?

Cassandra T Savoy
Answered by attorney Cassandra T Savoy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cassandra T. Savoy, PC
A marriage is considered by the court to be a partnership. You stayed for 20 years with the man who could not maintain employment and you enabled him to be unemployed. Apparently, his mental health issues did not cause the marriage to fail so they may not be really important now. Your husband, as a partner, still has to provide for the special needs child. You need a lawyer to put a settlement together that will be acceptable. However, in general, he owns 50% of the assets and 50% of the debt.

As a senior citizen on limited income, how can I afford a quality NJ lawyer for separation/divorce?

Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question.  Available resources are a concern for most when commencing divorce litigation.  In the event you are to retain counsel, you are free to utilize any savings and retirement assets available to you.  Additionally, if that is not an option, you can explore the possibly of utilizing the assistance of Legal Services in Gloucester County.  In the meantime, please remember you do not have to vacate your home on your spouse’s request.   You have the same right to the home as your spouse does.  I would recommend contacting an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible.
