Can a couple share the same divorce attorney?
I don't know if the law is the same in all states, but since my divorce was not contested, we used the same attorney and split the attorney fees. Although, the attorney made it very clear to my ex husband that since I was the one who filed for divorce and hired him, then I was the one he officially represented. So check with an attorney and see if you and your spouse can do the same. But you and he or she will have to agree on everything, or else you will need separate attorneys.

No. The appeal is the answer from your spouse for your filing for divorce. A divorce in CA takes 6 months for a basic no fault divorce and with no other problems.

What if spouse refuses to sign divorce papers in minnesota?
then your not divorced Or you should talk to your spouse about it if you guys really want to divorce or not. If the spouse does not want to accept the divorce papers,that spouse still cares for you. Then you should talk about getting back or settle things and talk to him/her about the divorce papers. If you do not care for your spouse then talk to that spouse gently and maturely about it If you are sure about the divorce but your spouse refuses to sign talk to a lawyer. in almost every state (if not every state) there is a way to get a divorce anyway it usually involves setting up a hearing. then they try to serve him/her the papers for the hearing if he/she does not respond within a certain period of time then the divorce is granted otherwise you might have a legal battle on your hands. However i believe in California it is not required to have your spouse sign the papers (do some research though to be sure) if that is true you might be able to go file for your divorce there however i still recommend talking to a lawyer about possible options where you live since its easier.

An abandoned spouse can sue the abandoning spouse for support (depending upon the circumstances; are there any children?) but in many cases, that doesn't help. Certainly you can sue for divorce. Take care of yourself.

How do you take your ex spouse off title insurance?
An Owner's Policy only covers the actual owner of the property. When the property is awarded to a party in divorce proceedings, that person remains "in title" (still on the deed) and the original Owner's Policy is still in effect covering that person since they were on the original deed as well when the property was obtained.The non-titled (person who was not awarded a continuing interest in the property by the divorce decree) automatically falls off the title policy since their interest is transferred off by the divorce proceedings and they no longer own the property.If you are looking to take the ex-spouse off an existing deed as the result of divorce proceedings, contact your real estate attorney and s/he can prepare the proper deed vesting the interest solely into the awarded spouse with the proper legal language referencing the divorce decree.
