My question involves a marriage in the state of: Indiana
This is for my sister. She is handicapped and 70 years old. Her husband is also 70 years old. He is retired and also served 20 + years on Army Reserve. They have Tricare and Medicare.
He is mentally & physically abuse to her. And as her caretaker, at times he will refuse to feed her or help with her medications and now to doctor appointments. He wants her in a nursing home on Medicaid, she does not want to go to one and wants home health which he refuses to get her.
She is looking at filing a self-serve divorce form from the library. However, I told her that she needs to get an attorney because I was told that in the State of Indiana and with her being handicapped, she has extra rights beside the standard split of marital property. Is that correct?? Can someone tell me for sure what they are? Spousal support, he carry insurance with Tricare for her, he pay utilities till divorce is final, etc. He has 5 vehicles (2 Cadillacs, 1 GMC truck, 1 Corvette, and 1 '64 GTO). She would like the one Cadillac because even though she does not drive, she has someone that will transport her if she has a vehicle.
Thank you.
