Question: What is the new divorce law in New York State about? I have a friend who is looking to get help with a divorce and we are both aware that there has been a recent law change. Does this new law make it easier to get a divorce in New York State and if so, how?

Answer: Earlier this year, New York became the last state to allow no-fault divorces. Prior to this law, spouses who disagreed on the terms of a divorce couldn’t be divorced unless one spouse proved the other was guilty of cruelty, abandonment or adultery. With the passage of this law spouses will now be able to claim “Irretrievable Breakdown”; therefore, one spouse can cite irreconcilable differences in a divorce and the other does not even need to defend the charge. Therefore, getting a divorce will get easier in NYS, although its still recommended that your friend seek the advise of a lawyer. There is a great legal information website in New York, which has a list of legal aid offices in NYS, its called, www.lawhelp.org/ny and your friend can search under their Divorce section. Best of luck!

Question: Does the Hindu Divorce Law have absolutely no respite for the helpless, battered husband of a faithless wife? I have consulted lawyers and found that the Hindu Divorce Law (very unlike the one for Muslims) has absolutely NO respite for the helpless and tortured husband of an adulterous/lawless wife in love with another who is most happy with the relationship only and not willing to marry her. In case the miserable husband is fortunate enough to be divorced by the wife herself, how long can the procedure take to come across?

Answer: Who was the foolish lawyer who told you that if a Hindu wife indulge in adultery her husband has no respite from her this act? The Hindu Marriage Act,1955 clearly provides:- Any marriage solemnized, whether before or after the commencement of the Act, may, on a petition presented by either the husband or the wife, be dissolved by a decree of divorce on the ground that the other party- (i) has, after the solemnization of the marriage had voluntary sexual intercourse with any person other than his or her spouse; If a Hindu wife has sexual relationship with another person then her husband & the husband has sufficient evidence to prove this sexual relationship/intercourse then the husband can get decree of divorce. The lawyer who told you that its only the wife who can give divorce not husband to the wrongdoer wife is either not a lawyer & has bogus law degrees. Always pay & consult right professional not the bogus one.

Question: Do you think Hindu Divorce Law Amendment is constitutionally right? Religion is fundamental right of an individual which cannot be influenced or compelled even by close kin including spouse. The law including this clause in list of causes for divorce is against the fundamental rights.

Answer: Ever since the Constitution of India is made by the indian backstabber of Hindus, Dr.Baba Saheb Ambedkar, the chief architect of indian constitution, employed by the jawaharlal family, another backstabber family in india, indian constitution itself is unethical, since the said Dr, Baba Saheb Ambedkar hating Hindu system, converted himself and others to Budhism, with conditions like those who convert should not believe, LORD SHIV, VISHNU, BRAM etc etc.only to marry another, since Hindu custom did not allow second marriage while first wife is alive and there is no contemplation of a concept called 'divorce'.

Question: Why do the people in USA have almost a highest rate of divorce and law suits? Please offer your answer to this question through your wildest imagination. As we know, the people in USA probably consume and send a highest amount of flowers, greeting cards for almost every occasions to each other. However, we still probably have a highest rate of divorce, law suits,..... in the world. What does that mean to you? I will post my view to share with all in 2 months. Have a nice day and a wonderful holiday.

Answer: USA people are just to darn shallow, we are always looking at appearcance versus reality. yes flowers and crap appear charming but in the end is his personality worth marrying. as yes she does have a perfect face and shape however when she is argumentative and hateful will the sex really matter. we are looking to fall "in love" but forget common sense such as COMPATABIILITY. we do not look at the long run just instant gratification, which contributes to so many people having sex in a relationship far too early are realizing they made a mistake. as an 18 year old is it disturbing to see such ignorant adults who are supposed to be my example. thank goodness for my mother who taught me well

Question: If some states have a 50/50 divorce law then whats the use of a pre-nup? Like some states have divorce law that each partner gets 50% of everything. If so, then whats the use of a pre-nup? If they didn't do one then its 50/50? If they do sign one then its up to the pre-nup agreement reguardless of state 50/50 law?

Answer: The pre-nup takes precedence over the 50/50 law. The 50/50 law is applied when there is no other contract/agreement. The reason for the law is because when you're married you become "one person" so to speak and with 50/50 both parties have an easier transition to life on their own.

Question: UNDER UK DIVORCE LAW assets considered for equal share? I separated from my husband 3 years ago and am now filing for a divorce under UK law. How are assets considered - is it the value they were 3 years ago at time of separation or is the value of these assets as they are now? The main assets in this case is the value of the house we shared which was valued at 240k pounds. It is now valued at 170k pounds.

Answer: I think it will maybe depend on who has been living and paying for the house since the split. If you have been jointly paying for it then any loss or profit would be shared on todays price. If only one of you has been paying it its only fair that the profit/loss seen in the three years goes to that person and the rest of the split 50/50

Question: how long does it take to get a common law divorce in texas? I filled taxes with a person who I planned to get married to but it didn't work out. He got in trouble with the law, and lost his legal status in the U.S. and was deported back to his country. I am know tring to buy a house. the lender says i need to get a common law divorce.

Answer: Talk to an attorney. You must know if it is common law and, if so, what you have to do to end the proceeding. It's worth 100 bucks to be sure that this guy doesn't show up in a couple of years and have a legal claim to half your house.

Question: Impact of the April 2008 law for Tax liability on UK divorce divorce settlement when settlement is paid abroad? I am very confused with the tax advice I am receiving on divorce settlement money paid abroad. I am told that according to the new 2008 tax law, divorce settlement can be regarded as a debt and consequently taxed whereas it was clear that was not the case prior to this law. Also could gifts transfers from married partners prior to the divorce order be remitted tax free in the UK after the divorce order? The relevant sections of the new 2008 tax law are 809L to 809Z6 Finance Act 2008.

Answer: I dont know which 2008 law you are referring to, but I dont think its a UK one. Divorce settlements have never been taxable in the UK and neither are other transfers between husband and wife. Nor is there a gift tax in the UK. If you can quote chapter and verse, maybe we can help.

Question: Who know's a little about divorce judgment inforcement law? My girlfriend's ex-husband will not comply with some of the items in their court-ordered judgment. She tried to be decent during the divorce but he refuses to accomidate in any way. Now she is afraid to get legal help to make him, even though she is do her share, and some involves the care of their children. She fears it will cost more to have the judgment inforced than what he owes her. Anyone have a little divorce law advice in CA? She really tried to be fair during a bad time and isn't trying to take more than what the court found to be equal. I'm just trying to help her feel a little better about the whole thing. Thanks.

Answer: I believe her legal issue is called "contempt of court", which means the judges decree has stipulated certain actions for both parties & one is not complying. Her only way to enforce the courts orders is to file contempt charges on him AND be sure to ask for court costs and attorney fees in the next judgement. (I know...pay more NOW & go to court & hope to get this settled and RECOUP the filing fees!) Really unfair, since the innocent party must front the cost to seek justice against the violator. Ya'll can ask for advice from CA attorneys at this website- www.lawguru.com. They let you post 1 question every 15 days. They answer you for free by email. You get up to 4 answers, it was pretty cool when I needed it. Anyway, just go on being supportive. I know eventually she'll get progress in this legal mess. Good Luck!

Question: Divorce law in Canada: can wife limit access to children in divorce because of adultery? In a divorce with admitted adultery, can the wife put a stipulation on the access of the father to the children as a result? For example - if after the divorce he is still in a relationship with the other woman (or if he marries other woman), can she say that he cannot have access to the children if the other woman is involved? Will a court allow this?

Answer: I don't know about Canada, but it is automatically joint physical custody when you divorce in the US. In that case she can't do spit, and no the court will not take the relationship into consideration. It sounds like she is just being spiteful by using the child the way she is.
