What is the name of your state? TN
I have been married for almost 3 years. we have had a rocky marriage from the get go. we have been "seperated" for 3 months now. but, every other week, we get back together physically and sexually. she has filed for divorce with "no fault." but, in reality, anytime there were problems in the relationship, she would run off to her friends house and stay there for days at a time. could this be considered "abandonment?"
2nd, she has kept all property, marital or not in her possession with the exception of a few items. our cell phone account is in her name, but it was gotten after we got married, but she has had my line turned off 2-3 times in the time we have been seperated. is there anything that i can do to have that stopped? she has password protected the cell phone account as to where i cant change the line into my name. have had the same number since i have been in the state and i use it for business at work. what can be done to have her from cutting the line off repeatedley?
3rd, she has a settlement that she will be collecting on from an accident that happened while we were "together" that she claims she will not give me any part of when part of what our lawyer is suing for is "loss of consortium." technically, she hired the lawyer since it was her accident. so how can i claim my share of the settlement?
4th, is it legally wrong of me to take things from her car, even though we arent divorced yet, if i have a door key and an ignition key? the car was never in my name, but i was given a door key, and i "creatively" got a dealership to cut me an ignition key. could i be charged with grand theft auto if i take her car right now? during the marriage she blew the engine up on my car. so i would like to take a little revenge with her on her car.
lastly, if i want to drag out the divorce process to make her upset, how many delays do you think the judge would allow? plus, as "crazy" as it sounds, we have talked about staying together long term, but there have been small issues that have come up along the way stopping that. she said she filed too early and wants to see how things will work out if we took our lives at a slower pace. but, she is like every woman and changes her mind every week. would i be smart in not hiring a lawyer and just trying to go about it myself?
any help would be great, but also taken with a grain of salt
