Well, My wife and i been married 4 years and have a 3 year child and she has a 6 year child which i helped raise since he was 2 years old. She doesnt let me see him and dont know why. I need some advice on this problem. My wife left me about 4 months ago and has another boyfriend. She filed but didnt pay for it. She told me that she going to pay next week but she had the money when she went down there. We had our up and downs. She doesnt say anything about why she kicked me out. All i get is my attitude, lying, and not showing her my feelings like she wanted me too. I havent gave her any space whatsoever.

Since, she filed but didnt pay for it and if i leave her alone, do i still have a chance with her? My wife hasnt worked in 2 years and last year i bought a car and didnt have my license and i had to put it in her name. She is driving her dad's car which is basically hers cause her dad has two vehicles himself. She wont let me have my car and i lost 3 job offers cause i didnt have a way to work. I was working on getting my license back and got laid off. My cousin is not working and i was going to let him drive me around. Do I deserve my car back after I paid for it?

Odds agony auntLegally, the car is hers. And if she pays for the divorce filing, so is most of your stuff. Do you have a good, solid prenup?

The move to keep you from having the car is probably deliberate. If you can't get a job, she can keep the kid, and your child support payments will likely be based on your previous work's pay, not on your current pay (or lack thereof).

I don't believe you have much chance of getting her back (not sure why you would even want her back at this point, but that's your call). First priority should be your kid's future. You need to move fast to secure at least joint custody; best bet for that is to talk to a lawyer and file for sole custody, with the intent to compromise later.

Seriously, get a lawyer on the phone as soon as you read this and start moving.

This may be hell for a while, but such are the dangers of modern marriage, especially to women who already have kids. Good luck, you're going to need it.

If the car is in her name, it's hers. And I don't think there's a thing you can do about it. It's the same as if you give a woman an engagement ring that you've paid for. If it's a gift or in her name, it's hers. Sorry.
