7 years ago my fiancé filed for a divorce from his VERY abusive and crazy wife. She got a lawyer, he filed signed the papers, gave them to her to give to her lawyer, and that was the end. The lawyer never filed the papers, and refuses to do anything about it since it was so long ago. His wife ever since has been threatening him to give her 1/2 his tax return or any other $ he comes into cause "they are still lmarried." it gets worse, they have a 10 year old, he pays her $600 per month. He has his daughter at minimum of 4 days per week, and is responcible for 100% of her cost of living! Now we are trying to get married, what will happen when he files again? Can the court just divorce them w/o conflict. Can she still screw us over? I should mention her lawyer was her friend! Is there any loop hole that since it has been so long, we don't need her to sign anything?
