First of all I want to say THANK YOU for fighting for our country. Now go find yourself a good attorny that will look out for you and your son while your gone. Did you both pay on the property or was it inhertied, states have differnt laws on propety seetlements in divorce cases. Just make sure he can’t sell anything while your gone, and it might be a good ideal to have a power of attorny to proctec your son and property while you gone. Good luck and may God be with you. and again THANK YOU11111

Take the advice of your attorney. Your attorney knows more than your husband.

Is he the boss when it comes to what you can and can not do???

You need to file for divorce and get at least HALF of everything. All the property needs to be sold and the profits equal split between the two of you. It can be written in the divorce papers that way and if you two agree on things, you can be legally divorce in 6 months, even if the property has not sold.

Let the lawyer handle it, lock, stock, and barrel. You go ahead and do what you have to do, and let the lawyer deal with him. That’s what you pay him the big bucks for! Tell your hubby…..”My attorney will be in touch!” Then go on about your life with your son!! Good Luck!!

Don’t sign over anything because the minute you do he will want what you have left. Get yourself an attorney.Get custody of your son and make him pay child support, he sounds like a real loser you have to protect yourself and file for a divorce who cares if it messes up his taxes you will be better without him.

You need to really work this with a divorce attorney who is clued in on tax consequences. Ask the attorney about publishing a notice that you’re not responsible for your husband’s debts, in case he does an “assault by credit card” on you while you’re deployed.

Make sure he does NOT have a power of attorney while you’re deployed. Find another trusted relative. I suggest that it NOT be a family friend (you never know who he might be keeping company with during your deployments).

Make sure that you are NOT doing the joint account thing. Set up an allotment.

You need a lawyer, a tax adviser and a real estate adviser.
