My wife served me with "intent to separate" dated April 10th 2008 - by that I mean a letter from her lawyer saying that he had been retained by my wife for the purpose of completing a legal separation with April 10th identified as the date.
Anyway, I also retained a lawyer who informed her lawyer that he was representing me.
Since that date, my wife and I (and 2 children) have continued to live together, sleep together, attend family activities together, share joint account, eat together as a family, vacation together and generally "try and work things out".
It looks like we will probably not be able to work things out and are heading for a legal separation.
QUESTIONS:
Can my wife still use April 10th as the separation date? I have a lot of personally owned stocks that I own and have dropped considerably in value (along with everyone elses) since April 10th. With everything else going on, I just left my finances alone and have woken up in the last few weeks to the large losses I have incurred!!
If my wife cannot use April 10th as her separation date, how do we choose another date? My choice would be to ask my wife to pick a date in the near future, and then sell 50 percent of my stocks on that date and put the money in an interest account for her - once the separation is legalized.
FYI... niether one of us has completed out FLR 13.1 finance declaration forms of signed / agreed on anything to date.
