How to divorce a soldier?
My husband is stationed in Miami, FL. Last month my daughter and I moved back to live with my parents in NC because he said he wanted to be alone. Now we want a divorce. He said he is going to file in Florida because it can be over with in as little as 5 weeks. I am worried I will get the short end of the deal in things and I know I need an attorney but I dont know if I need one in Florida or in NC. I would like to start things myself, but in NC you need to be separated a year before divorce and he doesnt want to wait that long. I have concerns about child custody. Please help! (Carolina Beach, NC) A: You first have to determine which state is the proper forum. The real question would be how long you lived with him in Florida. Also, what is his state of residence? If you were absent from NC for more than six months, then the child custody issue cannot be decided in NC and you would need a FL attorney. If you were not absent from North Carolina for six months, you should litigate custod
