Any advice on handling a divorce after 25 yrs of marriage?

Deployed overseas for 2 years. Returned to find Husband lazing around house, watching sports, refuses to help w/ home improvements. Our son (16) was left to do whatever he wanted. Now I have to re-engage son - now has behavioral issues (angry) and husband thinks I need therapy - wants to leave. Clincher...we own 2 properties valued at 1 = $600K the other at $900K. Husband told me that he has asked the tenant at prop 1= (600K) to leave so he can sell the house and buy out of state. Wants me to sign over property so he can leave, but he does not want to give me a divorce - this would mess up his taxes. does not want me to remove his name from prop2 (900K) -he wants half of whatever I sell the prop for, when I decide to sell it. Should I just sign papers for property 1 (600K) to get him out, or stand fast until both properties are sold. Atty told me that it MAY take up to TWO years for a divorce. I won't make it. Need a hand. I will be deploying again in 6-8 monthAny advice on handling a divorce after 25 yrs of marriage?
Let the lawyer handle it, lock, stock, and barrel. You go ahead and do what you have to do, and let the lawyer deal with him. That's what you pay him the big bucks for! Tell your hubby.....';My attorney will be in touch!'; Then go on about your life with your son!! Good Luck!!Any advice on handling a divorce after 25 yrs of marriage?
You need a lawyer, a tax adviser and a real estate adviser.
Don't sign over anything because the minute you do he will want what you have left. Get yourself an attorney.Get custody of your son and make him pay child support, he sounds like a real loser you have to protect yourself and file for a divorce who cares if it messes up his taxes you will be better without him.
First of all I want to say THANK YOU for fighting for our country. Now go find yourself a good attorny that will look out for you and your son while your gone. Did you both pay on the property or was it inhertied, states have differnt laws on propety seetlements in divorce cases. Just make sure he can't sell anything while your gone, and it might be a good ideal to have a power of attorny to proctec your son and property while you gone. Good luck and may God be with you. and again THANK YOU11111
YOU NEED A GOOD LAWYER! GET ONE NOW
Take the advice of your attorney. Your attorney knows more than your husband.
Is he the boss when it comes to what you can and can not do???





You need to file for divorce and get at least HALF of everything. All the property needs to be sold and the profits equal split between the two of you. It can be written in the divorce papers that way and if you two agree on things, you can be legally divorce in 6 months, even if the property has not sold.
You need to really work this with a divorce attorney who is clued in on tax consequences. Ask the attorney about publishing a notice that you're not responsible for your husband's debts, in case he does an ';assault by credit card'; on you while you're deployed.





Make sure he does NOT have a power of attorney while you're deployed. Find another trusted relative. I suggest that it NOT be a family friend (you never know who he might be keeping company with during your deployments).





Make sure that you are NOT doing the joint account thing. Set up an allotment.
