My question involves a marriage in the state of: Alabama
Hi all. I was married in the state of Pennsylvania, but am currently living in Alabama. I separated (moved out) last May. At the time, my husband said he would sign off on the divorce without a fight, but at the last minute he changed his mind for "religious reasons". We have no joint property or debt (everything is in either his or my name, nothing signed for together) and no assets to speak of. I wouldn't be asking for anything, just kind of a "what's yours is yours, what's mine is mine" type deal. There are no children involved, so custody is not an issue.
My question is, when I do file, can he contest on the grounds of basically "I don't want a divorce"? And if he does, how does that change the timeline? Neither one of use really has the money to get involved in a big court battle, especially from halfway across the country (which is another question, if I file in AL, would he have to come here to fight it out in court?)
Thanks in advance!
