The judge only knows what is on the paperwork. This is why it is so important for both parties to have their own lawyer to represent them. My second husband was an adulterer as well as an alcoholic, this I stated to my lawyer, my Ex refused to sign the papers with it being the reason so we changed it to irreconcilable differences. When we went before the judge he asked me if everything was in agreement with the papers, at that point I could have said what I felt in my heart to be truth but because my Ex and I did differ on the marriage vows then I decided to leave it be. If you think the papers are wrong say so to the judge, don't let your divorce be based on false truths.Divorce...If legal divorce papers are drawn up but all the facts are false?
it depends on what stse you are from but if the info is false there could be some jail time coming good luck
talk to a lawyer in your state
Sounds as if your husband is proceeding with a divorce and you do not want it. Get a lawyer ASAP. Unless you show up and contest he will get the divorce and he will get what he asks the judge for unless the judge knows there is something false. Time to protect your rights.
You don't get a divorce by just filling out papers. divorces go through COURTS and courts are there to protect everyone. If you can not afford a lawyer, you can go to legal aid or if you're a woman you can go to a women's shelter and they can advise you or find you a free lawyer. You take the papers and, if there are incorrect statements, you PROVE otherwise and that is what your lawyer files. Same goes for the man. If the wife is filing for divorce, your lawyer will make your statement in court for you or you can attend court and answer all questions. A divorce judge/court will listen to both sides and sometimes instead of a divorce he/she will order mediation or counselling.
You and your lawyer can contest to it. If you do not want to sign the divorce papers you do not have to and the judge normally won't sign off on them. A judge will only sign off on them if there is no response from the other party for a certain number of days and after that he will most likely sign them off.
most divorces are ';no fault';. basicly, it doesn't matter what is on the papers. some judge will grant a divorce to the one who filed the papers. you have a chance at your hearing to refute the allegations but the divorce will be granted.
I would think that because your making a statement regarding divorce to a court of law that all information should be correct as you know it to be. If there is false information wouldn't that be illegal? If lawyers are involved, they must uphold the word of the law and that is truth, isn't it? If your spouse has false information on his papers then I wouldn't sign it either. But on the other hand, I wouldn't want to stay in a relationship that the other person doesn't want to be there. What are the false facts? does it pertain to children? or property? or finances? I would tell my lawyer what the falsehoods are and amend the document, then give it back to the judge, or the other lawyer.
What a mess! Good Luck. It's unfortunate that lawyers seem to be the only ones that make money when it comes to divorces.
you need to speak to your attorney and make him or her aware
you never go for uncontested divorces w/o an mutual attorney.
in my state, if a notice of uncontested divorce is given to the other party, the decree can be submitted and approved to the judge if the notice was certifiably presented to the other party and not responded within 20 days.
thats 20 days for the other party to verify all the relevant info on the documents.
your loss if you let the 20 days slide by
