I am a US.Armed Forces Veteran. I am 85 years old. In December of 2003, I got married to a woman who took all my savings and made a fraudulent activities using my personal identification in conspiracy with her son, who has a long list of Criminal Convictions for similar cases: ID Theft, Credit Card Forgery, Bank Forgery, Marihuana and Cocaine Possession,etc. They also keepnapped me in a little room without hygienic and without food. While they threatened and intimidated me to kill me if I could call the Police. Fortunately, I scape from their house, I made the ID Theft and Fraud dennounces in the Police Department and I filed a case in the Court for Domestic Violence in August of 2009 to getting an Injuction for Personal Protection.The wife had solely made two marital sexual relationship with me to accomodate and to guarantee the possession of all my savings and all of my retirement benefits. We had lived in a separated room after the first month of the marriage and the wife had few lovers to whom she made her sexual relationship into the same house in where we lived and I have evidences and witnesses of my allegation. Before the marriage and during the marriage she has never worked. My retirement benefits arise up before and previous the marriage with this woman, it is pre-marital retirement benefits to which the wife never coolaborated and never aported any penny nor any sacrifice.In September of 2009, I filed a Petititon for Dissolution of Marriage. The wife retained a woman Lawyer who is claiming half of my Social Security and Retirement Benefits. I am representing myself and I had investigated in the Social Security Administration that the wife solely shall claim Social Security Benefits when at least has been marriage during 10 consecutive years. This woman had not marital relationship with me, we lived in a separated room during 4.8 months and we have living in a separated place and location since 2 years ago. She has had a men in her house (lover) since September of 2008 but she insisted in getting the half of all my Retirement Benefits which were paid and accumulated by my hard work and sacrifices in this Country during 60 years. I am an elderly, I have to pay for all my expenses, for the living assistence and for my medical coopayments. I would like to know if this woman has the rights to get the benefits that she is claiming in the Divorce and also, I would like to retain a Veteran Attorney to represent myself in this case. I will appreciate your recommendation and answer in this case. Thanks and God Bless You. My email: [email protected]
