How and when would I file for almony married 25 yrs separate 10

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
You will need to file for divorce in the county where you reside or the county where he resides.  In the divorce suit you will request that husband pay you spousal maintenance.  Has he supported you financially during the separation?  If so, then you may want to ask for that to continue after the divorce for a limited period of time. If he has not supported you, then you may have a difficult time proving that you need money from him in order to survive.  Spousal maintenance is meant to assist a former spouse meeting his or her minimum reasonable needs (such as for shelter, food, transportation).  The court limits the duration of the payments to the shortest time possible to allow the spouse to get on his or her feet after the divorce.  If you are "on your feet already," then the court is not likely to award spousal maintenance.  The court will also require that you have used due diligence in attempting to earn enought to support yourself.  If you are going to receive property in the divorce that may be liquidated to use to support yourself, then your odds of getting court awarded spousal maintenance decrease. Parties may agree to contract for alimony in a divorce decree.  If your husband agrees to pay alimony then that should be set forth in the decree. In a twenty-five year marriage the longest term for post-divorce spousal maintenance is seven years after the divorce. The maximum amount is the lesser of $5,000 per month or 20% of the spouse's average monthly gross income.   There are exceptions to the general rules for family violence situations and for disabled spouses.

Do I need a lawyer if I want a divorce that involves kids no property but are in full agreement?

Answered by attorney Ronda Elizabeth Harris
Divorce lawyer at Harris Law Firm, PLLC
The short answer is yes. If kids are involved, then I highly recommend you have an attorney draft your final divorce decree. If you do not, then you are likely to have costly issues come up in your future. Often, those costs can exceed the price of hiring an attorney to draft paperwork correctly in the first place.  For instance: Your final decree may be rejected by the judge and you will be forced to try to figure out why plus miss additional days of work to come back for another prove-up.  An experienced family law attorney can help draft language that you might not think of on your own or find in any standardized forms. Most standardized forms do not contain everything you should have in a final decree.  If your agreement has ambiguities, then future disagreements can lead to costly modifications.  Finally, there is no such thing as legalized separation in Texas. During all the time you have been living separately, you are still accumulating community property assets/debts.  If these assets/debts are not divided in the divorce decree, then they are subject to future just and right division.   While it is possible you could do this correctly on your own, it is extremely unlikely.  I would expect to spend some quality time researching Texas Family Code and in your local law library if you decide to do it on your own. If you and your spouse are truly in agreement, then an attorney should be able to discuss your case in a consultation and give you a price to draft agreed paperwork.

If I get a legal separation, do I have to leave my home?

Answered by attorney James Paul Peterson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of James P. Peterson
If he will not move out voluntarily, then you may file for divorce and get temporary orders requiring him to move out and pay child support and other bills. Whether you complete the divorce or not would be up to you or him.
