    Want divorce and wife's in nursing home w/ dementia. Have been with a woman for 5 yea
    My wife has been in a nursing home for the past 5 years with dementia. Before illness we were living together but separately. I have a life with someone and she had her personal life. Now I want to divorce and our daughter has POA so what would be my next step. She has been under Medicaid so this is not a fraud situation.

    Thank you

    So neither of you own a home or have any assets of significance?
    Does her daughter know you want this, and if so, how does she feel about it?
    What state is it?

    I wouldn't do this without an attorney, even though I got a divorce without one.

    Get an attorney, most likely they may want support for wife.
