All I can say is documentation is everything. Write everything down and save for your court dates, save a paperwork and have it with you for each court date, again documentation is everything in this state. It took me 16 months to get divorced.

QUESTIONS

  • Military Retirement Pay and divorce. I married AFTER I've retired from the military. Most of the Q&A talked about divorce while in service or marriage occurring while serving. If I divorce, would my spouse still be able to get a percentage of the retirement pay?
  • My wife left me 8 mos. ago. We lived in Colorado (I still do). How do I find out if she has filed for legal seperation ?
  • In the event an annulment was granted does the the wife have the option to keep the husbands last name even if he requested she not keep it?
  • I've been married for over 7 years I did an annulment but Tucson courts are saying its invalid because we have been married longer then 90 days and I was supposed to do a dirvoce not an annulment. Need someone to let me know if I am legally annulled or do I need to reapply and do a divorce.
  • Was married in VA and Nikki's recently found out that my husband is still married to one of his previous wives in VA. Can I get an annulment here on the grounds for bigamy and fraud?

  • I filed for divorce in Cochise County AZ in May 2011. I moved to Maricopa County the end of May and have drove back to file the other papers, for serving and default. Would it be possible for me to finish the divorce proceeding here in Maricopa? Thank you for your help.
  • My husband who participated in illegal drugs once in a while before we got married had become an addict. We haven't been married a year. Domestic abuse has occurred numerous times with me too afraid to call on him. However, they are getting worse. His name is the one in the house and he threatens to kick me out. Would this be grounds for annulment?
  • I am a resident of AZ. My wife and I were married in AZ. My wife is a resident of Minnesota and has filed for divorce there. The laws of which state govern in the divorce settlement?
