Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico

I administer Anesthesia and I am incorporated. I am getting a divorce.

His attorney wants to settle. She is tired of him and he is into her for a lot of money. My income is close to 300K per year but I have serious tax implications, insurance, (malpractice etc) I can provide a profit and loss statement that is not attractive. My husband has obtained employment in MO; but I'm not sure how much he makes, probably somewhere between 30-50K/yr. He has a domestic violence history, and a psychiatric diagnoses of ''explosive personality disorder'' He has not completed his 706 expert evaluation and is in contempt of court as it was ordered August of 2004. He has violated his probation in MO again and is due to attend court there Mar. 2, 2005. We have over 100k in equity in the MO home. I would be willing to hand it over if he refinanced; but no institution will finance him. I have no assets in NM. I am going broke keeping my rental in NM and paying the bills in MO plus his interim relief. How can I keep him out of my business?

Re: I administer Anesthesia and I am incorporated. I am getting a divorce.

I do not believe there is an easy or clear answer to your inquiry. Your message leaves me with questions that are not readily answered by the short paragraph you wrote. I cannot tell from your writing if your action has begun in NM and you have some ties to MO or if your action began in MO and you moved to NM. It makes a difference.

This bulletin board may not be the appropriate setting to discuss your legal action. I would assume you have an attorney and you are looking for a second opinion as to the larger general issue of "how long can this go on?" However, my assumptions are sometimes off base. If you want to email me privately I will try to provide a sense of direction for you to consider. If you do not have an attorney I can give you some direction in that area. I will not second guess your attorney but I can help you get to a point to either selecting an attorney or give you sufficient questions to ask on your own about the course of the litigation in which you presently find yourself involved.

Good Luck.
