What should i ask the lawyer because my husband wants a divorcewhat are my rights

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
The short answer is, if your husband makes more money than you, you're entitled to spousal support. Regardless of income, you're also entitled to half of everything accumulated by both of you during the marriage. If there are children under age 21 and you get full custody, you'll also get child support. A simple question from you should elicit may answers from a good lawyer- but first many questions. Ask, "what do I do?" You'll then be asked about your family, marriage, living situation, kids, employment, and the most important question of all- what do YOU want? Make sure to ask about fees, and if they're not explained clearly, insist. If they're still not explained clearly, run. Don't ask "how long will it take?"  Any lawyer who gives you an answer to that question is making it up. It's impossible to tell before your lawyer talks to the other side and even then, it's nearly impossible to predict, unless it's simple and uncontested.  A lawyer should make you feel more comfortable about your situation- not more stressed out. Take note of how you feel before you sign anything.

The parties were married in the state and either party is a resident thereof when the action is commenced and has been a resident for a continuous period of one year immediately preceding, or 2. The parties have resided in this state as husband and wife and either party is a resident thereof when the action is commenced and has been a resident for a continuous period of one year immediately preceding, or 3. The cause occurred in the state and either party has been a resident thereof for a continuous period of at least one year immediately preceding the commencement of the action, or 4. The cause occurred in the state and both parties are residents thereof at the time of the commencement of the action, or 5. Either party has been a resident of the state for a continuous period of at least two years immediately preceding the commencement of the action. So as long as one of the above is satisfied, then you will be able to file for divorce in New York State.
