What is the name of your state? Colorado
I will try to make this as short as possible and keep the info relevant.
My mom is just starting to go through, what is starting to be, a pretty messy divorce. Her husband has retained a lawyer and she just went to a consultation with a lawyer today. She is getting conflicting information about spousal maintenance. Her potential lawyer said that she should be getting temporary maintenance and when she told his lawyer that....he said no.
I don't know if the info I am about to tell you is relevant but I will relay it just in case it is.
They own a home here and a home in Kansas as well. They were planning on living in Kansas after her and her husband retired. She retired first and they both decided that she should live in Kansas about a year and a half ago so that she could find a job and get things set up for when he retired so they would have a head start on things. She found a great job working for the city and would come home every weekend to be with him.
Well of course them being apart that much didn't work and he ended up cheating on her. She found out and after much debate..he begged her to quit her job and move back here to Colorado. So she did...and 6 months later he filed for divorce.
She is 60 years old and finding another job making enough to support herself is proving to be a pretty tough task.
She she be getting maintenance? Temp or otherwise?
Sorry...that was probably longer than it should have been.
