What are my right if I left my husband 6yrs. ago, left him the house so that he had a place to live. But we never got a legal separation or a Divorce. We have been married for a total of 16yrs. But we now what A divorce and I need to know if I will have any rights to half of everything?

a lot of it depends on what state you're in. you might be able to convince your husband that it will be cheaper all around if you two can just agree to divide everything, rather than paying thousands to lawyers. one of the most important factors is how much cash and work you put into the house during the time you lived in it. also, have you paid anything for taxes or morgage or upkeep since moving out? ever cleaned it for him? that counts too.

It all depends on where you live and the laws in your place of residence, you can look up the laws of divorce on line or you can contact an attorney. Maybe you and your husband can work things out before you take it to court. Split everything so there's no issues and just file the divorce papers.

It does depend on where you live. Definitely check with an attorney; they can give you the correct advice. You may be entitled to something for the 10 years you lived with him, but I don't know what percentage it might be. It would be so much cheaper for the two of you to agree on a settlement rather than paying attorneys to work it out or to have a Judge decide it.

I think you should consult your case to a lawyer/attorney. He will give you a properly legal advice. Hopefully there are a legal advisor who joining in myLot. Good Luck..
