What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Hello, My name is Bonnie.
I'm posting to ask, see, my husband of 13 years abandoned me 2 years ago. He went to visit his adult children and never returned.
I had hoped we could reconcile so I did not file for divorce. I am disabled and I live soley on disability payments as well as health insurance I get from my husbands army benefits. He is retired from the national guard after 20 years of service.
He is now in Georgia and I am in Texas. He did not contact me at all until a few days ago when he called and told me he was going to file for divorce. Because I'm on disability I cannot afford a lawyer.
I wonder if I need to file something...or if he files for divorce will I be able to ask for alamony and explain that this was a result of his abandonment and adultery?
please advise!
thank you so much.
Bonnie.
