Re: comatose spouse
I do not believe that there is anything stopping one from doing so. However, a Guardian would have to be appointed to represent the comatose spouse's interests in the divorce and to accept service of the Complaint. I certainly think that a full consultation with an attorney is in order first. There are many issues to consider before taking such action. If you would like to further discuss this issue, please feel free to contact my secretary, Debbie, at 856-795-6700 to schedule a consultation.
