Depending on if you can live with a spouse who has in fact turned gay, that is not a question anyone but you can answer. If that person has remained faithful to you regardless of their sexual preference they obviously still either have a great love or respect for you. It seems if they have suddenly realized their sexuality it should be them wondering if a divorce in necessary, not you.
Abandonment is not grounds for divorce in Michigan. Michigan is a "no-fault" divorce state.
Seriously? In sickness and in health....What a person does can be grounds for divorce but not the sickness alone. Can you imagine someone having grounds for divorce because their spouse had cancer epilepsy or Alzheimer's?
"For richer or poorer" Anything can be grounds for a divorce, including laziness.
SC allows for divorce on the grounds of "willful desertion for one year"
Yes - if you live within a jurisdiction with "no-fault" divorce laws. Where "at-fault divorce" laws are in effect, a party requesting a divorce must demonstrate that there are grounds for the divorce. If, for example, someone files for divorce on the grounds of adultery in a jurisdiction where "at-fault divorce" is the law, and the other spouse disputes the grounds - i.e. denies adultery took place and refuses to agree to the divorce, a judge may deny the divorce petition. In some jurisdictions men may divorce their wives at-will, but women may not divorce their husbands without their husband's consent.
Yes, most states have no fault divorce available and no longer require specific grounds for divorce. A party need only provide a general reason for the divorce such as irreconcilable differences or an irreparable breakdown of the marriage.In the US, one spouse cannot prevent a divorce.
Yes it can be done, as the spouse is living in Italy for over a year, and is separated, the divorce can go through.
Not exactly. Being unfaithful is grounds for divorce, and if they divorce you then you could lose it.
if one spouse files suit for divorce against the other, she may be in for a long wait. While state law permits a no-fault divorce, couples who agree to part ways must remain separated for at least 1 year before filing for divorce on "no fault" grounds. After 2 years apart, either spouse can get a divorce for any reason. But filing on certain grounds allows the petitioning spouse to have her case heard expeditiously--and one of these grounds is if she claims that her husband is engaged in an adulterous relationship (the other is on grounds of cruelty).
Abandonment as grounds for divorce is addressed by state laws. There is no general rule. You need to speak with a divorce attorney who can review your situation, explain your options and advise you of your rights according to your state laws.
yes. My parents did it and the only financial loss was job problems.
Your spouse walked out, and you'd like to file for divorce? "Abandonment" is grounds for divorce in any of the "fault" states. The essential procedure is to publish a notice of intent to divorce in the paper for one month. If it hasn't been answered by then, you file for divorce and it's granted. I recommend changing the doorlocks.
