good recommendation for a divorce lawyer? NH
So the inevitable has happened to me, marriage was less than 9 months...
Assets are all in my name, pre-marital property Nothing was bought during our marriage Did not co-mingle funds Do not have a joint account MY ASSETS: All titled in my name: Home M3 Civic my dog TDAMERITRADE trading account (not retirement), just something for me to play with in the markets So what's going to happen, can she fight anything if she felt compelled? |

Depends on the state really. I was married in Hawaii and lived in California and divorced in Oregon. lol If its a no contest divorce you wont lose anything. Depends on her as well. I had: A house 02 NSX 03 MDX 02 M3 Pets etc She got the dining room table and her clothes on her back as my boot was up her ass as she went out the door. I didnt give her anything and she deserved nothing. She was at fault in my marriage. California law could have come down and said I owe her half of everything but since I filed in Oregon it fell under Oregon law. She agreed she did not want any of my retirement and agreed on a no-contest with one exception; she wanted the dining room table. So she got that. No big deal really. She didn't even want her dog. I kept him too.

I did not get a lawyer. I went to the court in downtown Portland and the court has a $260 filing fee if the other half won't contest it. Basically both parties walk away and lose nothing. If thats the case, which it sounds like yours is, no attorney will be needed but you still will have to serve her. Once she is served you will have 30-90 days in which she should respond. If she does nothing and no response then the court rules in your favor. Since my ex was in Hawaii and she did not want to fly to Oregon she signed all the paperwork the court gave me (Free) and had it notarized. Once the court got that back signed the judge took 45 minutes and made a ruling while I was there. Very fast.

That is a great start, but filing the joint petition is just the beginning. If everything is agreed and your circuit court not too backed up, you might get to the final decree in a couple of months. Otherwise, it could be 6 months or longer (if children, definitely longer).

How do you pay extra to have your divorce expedited in NH? I have practiced law here for 18 years and would like to know how to expedite my cases.

Sorry to the OP. My thoughts are with you and good luck. My 16 year marriage has been sketchy all of 2013. Hoping to not make a similar post eventually.

Many folks have no time to sit and wait for a judge for 6 months. That is the way of life on the West Coast sometimes. Mine was signed in 45 minutes.

OP, take no chances. Talk to the best lawyers whether they offer free consultation or not. A few grand you spend now can save a lot more later. Although your case sounds simple this is my advice. Best of luck!
I STRONGLY SUGGEST EVERYONE TO READ MT THREAD. IF HAD KNOWN FRACTION OF WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD HAVE SAVED HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF $$$ This is my thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=579810 |

But yeah, all the lawyers said my case is very simple and the judges will practically rule in my favor due to short marriage and little assets. |
