Mysterio Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 So I have a buddy named G. He reconcected with his Ex girlfriend F in Feb 2013. He moved in with her and her 2 kids in April of 2015 and had his son with her in Aug 2015. They are now expecting their second child a girl in Feb 2017. F is only separated. Going into 2017. She is on year 8 of being separated. She seems to not be able to finalize the Divorce. The Ex is dragging his heals for some reason. G does not know the reason. I think that this is very bad for them and could cause problems in the future. What should G do. Help her out financially with the Divorce. Talk to her Ex and see if he can help out somehow. I have yet to ask this. I guess to me they could do whatever they want. It feel like G's GF, F. She comes off like she is rushing things. Introduced the kids right away. Got Pregnant before finailizing the Divorce. Does F's ex Husband H have any say in her life. I think she left him. So why is it so hard to get a divorce. Property I hear is not the issue. Its more likely to be Visitation and Child support. To me that should be easy to figure out. What reason would the Ex want to hang on to his wife legally. The Ex now has a girl-friend.

Miss Clavel Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 i hear that any children of the marriage are considered products of the marriage. so maybe work that angle. if it's the law in their state the children are considered the husband's, in spite of their birth certificates then their "father" will have to "support" them, absent a divorce. also, in some states a married pregnant woman can not achieve a "final decree" until after she gives birth. your friend is going to have to ask his baby's mama about the reasons for her delay. maybe she wants a share of his social security benny's when she retires which would take 10 years for her to be vested. who knows. they do. they have to figure it out. however, your friend needs to be protected and you might want to make sure he knows that.

PegNosePete Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It's pretty inconceivable that she would be unable to get divorced after 8 years of separation. Chances are she's not trying all that hard; or hasn't been trying properly for all that long. If she wants to get divorced she should hire a lawyer. If she has one then she should ask the lawyer why it is taking so long. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Freebee007 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ummmm..... isn't it uncontested after a year? 8 years sounds like a fake problem. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Your mate does not know what the problem is? I'm finding this inconceivable too. Do they not communicate? Does she not share life's frustrations with him? Link to post Share on other sites
