My mother is getting a divorce. She has been married for 9 years. As far as I know everything is in his name. She is making copies of all bank statements etc. He says he's going to spend money like he wants to and she just has to "deal" b/c it's all his anyway. What can she do? She is meeting with an attorney today. They have some cash can she take half and put it in the safe deposit box or something? She needs advice ASAP. She doesn't feel her computer is "safe" so I'm posting for her. Please help. What can she do to prepare?
He vowed to take care of her when he married her. What’s his is hers until the judge says other wise. I would take half the money. Does she work? In the state of Alabama there are only two way (I know of ) to get alimony 1) be married for 20 yrs 2) that she was accustomed to living a certain way and can not do that without his help. (something to that affect). I just filed my sister- in-laws divorce papers in Tuscaloosa county, her divorce will be final in 90 days.
I'm almost in the same boat, but we have alot of property - land. Will that have to be sold? And is there any way to insure his friends don't get their hands on it so he can have it? Thank you.
