I live in Doylestown PA but I am coming to South Carolina to stay with my sister. He is keeping the house he gave me no car. He has hid money from me. I never worked during our marriage of 25 years

If he's filed in PA, then you need to consult an attorney in PA to discuss these issues. You need to do so asap.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
