past divorce

[montgomery]

Iwas married to a graduate of stanford law school in 1980 He was recruited to work for a prestigious law firm in LA I became pregnant 2 times while we were together. He asked me to have abortions because he didn't want children till he made partner. I agreed each time because I didn't want to get in the way of his career. It ruined our relationship. We seperated and divoced in 1982. I am now 44 yrs.old and childless. over the past few years I have been feeling the pain of not being able to have children.He has 3 and is a partner in the same firm. He remarried before we even made our settlement. I did not know what divorce in name only meant. She was also pregnant! It upsets me he has gone on to be very successful.He helped me out with a little financial help in 99' I recently asked him for a copy of our divorce decree and he is ignoring me. He told me the abortion issue is not his problem. That angers me. I want to migrate to Australia but I want to know if I can sue him for the pain and suffering Ive gone through and will go through for the rest of my life? He can afford to help me out his law firm is one of the top 3.Is there ant legal recourse?

My response:

Oh my goodness ! I also graduated from Stanford Law School in 1980 ! And, I am the Senior Partner of a "prestigious" law firm is Los Angeles ! Wow ! I probably know him since he had to have been in my graduating class. (But please, no names on this site).

However, I assure you, I am not him - - as a matter of fact, I've been married to Mrs. Liable for the past 27 years and have never been divorced - - although, that is one of my firms specialized areas of law.

Unfortunately, in answer to your questions, if you even had a cause of action (which I doubt), the Statute of Limitations has passed many, many years ago.

It's time to move on with your life - - as best you can. I sympathize with your situation, but abortions are, in the final analysis, a singular decision; i.e., you had every right to maintain the pregancies or abort them - - no matter what he said to you. The final decision was yours under the United States Supreme Court decision in "Roe vs. Wade".

Good luck to you.
