What can I do if Spouse refuses to sign divorce papers?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
He does not have to sign paperwork for you to file for divorce. Once you have filed and served him with the paperwork, he has an opportunity to respond if he disagrees with anything you've requested. If he does not respond within the time permitted by law, you can ask the court to proceed by default (e.g. without his participation). If he does respond within the time and challenges anything you've requested, you can try to settle the case and if that does not work, you can ask the court to schedule a trial so the issues can decided and the divorce granted. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

If you got your 401k before you were married do you have to pay your wife support?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
The portion of your 401k that you already had when you got married should qualify as your separate property. Any increases/additions that happened during the marriage are likely to be treated as community property.

My ex lied about transmitting HIV

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Please add some information to let us know what you are asking.  If you are married and you file for divorce you could consider adding a claim to the pleading for  emotional distress.  That sort of claim is difficult to prove if you have not sought counseling or medical help as a result of the distress.
