Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: divorce issue

I seriously doubt that the court would delay the divorce, or sale of the house, unless there are minor children residing in the home, for you to go back to school. However, with a long-term marriage, and the dispartiy in income you indicate, you should be entitled to significant alimony payments. If Husband is out of the house, you may seek temp. orders of support, if you have not already done so. I would be surprised if you are not represented under these circumstances? If you are, have you directed these questions to your attorney and received a contrary answer thant this one?

divorce issues?

First of all, I hope that you are being represented by an attorney. The differences in your respective financial situation is significant. The issues you raise are not only reasonable, but also quite normal.

You may be entitled to spousal support as well.

You have not said at which stage of the proceedings this matter is? This would be helpful.

If you would like to discuss this matter, or have more specific information contact me either by email, or Monday morning by telephone.
