You need to be separated for 18 months BEFORE you can file for a divorce.

You really need to get some assistance from an attorney. I suggest you find an experienced divorce attorney (this is a divorce type problem) who is not too far from you, and ask the attorney for assistance. You will have to pay the attorney for the attorney's efforts.

There is a lot at stake. Get a lawyer!

It is now 6 months under the new law.

I suggest you at least meet with an attorney before filing, especially since most of us, such as myself, have free consultations.
