Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

separated - responsibility??

My husband and I have separated and have lived totally apart for 7 years. We are not divorced. Own no joint property. Do not receive any money from each other for anything. Our children are adults. He is now ill with what may be a long term illness/disability. Will I be responsible for any of his medical expenses or his living expenses should he need assisted living? He is retired and collects SS.

It seems that your marriage has been factually desd, although not legally dead, for some time. I would suggest to you that you obtain a divorce to avoid anyone seeking to collect from you for his bills.

Call me if you like.
