After one spouse declares an intent to end a marriage with children, is there a legal expectation or obligation to commit to a separation agreement in a timely fashion?
My wife wanted the divorce but she is not that keen to make any commitment to a separation agreement. Does the law protect me from being stuck in marital limbo forever?
I have put before my wife a draft agreement that includes everything she asked and left her to get independent legal advice. Understandably I have to wait and I can not coerce her but she is a procrastinator.
Her first meeting with a lawyer is scheduled for two weeks from now. She asked for the divorce several months ago. That is not a long time but I just do not want to find myself at the end of our one-year separation without any certainty of our financial future while simultaneously being obligated to support my wife under the same roof.
What are the best steps that I may take to lead ourselves to a diplomatic resolution?
