Can I amend my separation agreement for automatic payments after reconciliation?
Two years ago, my husband and I planned to separate, and, had a separation agreement which was recorded at the courthouse. In the agreement, my husband agreed to pay me $700.00 a month. I had chosen the separation agreement because he is retired military and we have both medicare and tricare for life. I have numerous health issues, so, I felt this was the best route to take. We ended up reconciling for about two years, but, it is not working as he is an alcoholic, and womanizer, and a sociopath. Live is very difficult for me, and, I have decided to put the agreement in force. Since we had lived together during this time, I did not collect the $700 a month. Before I actually move, which I hope to do next month, I would like to amend the agreement to make the $700 an automatic deposit to my account. Otherwise, I doubt if he will pay it.
Can my husband and I get a quick divorce in Illinois?
My husband and I have been married for 3 years and are settled in Illinois. With the passage of time, our rapport with each other reduced drastically and were no longer happy in the marriage. Both of us agree that it would be ideal for us to separate and depart from each other’s lives once and for all. Both of us are workaholics and we agree that going through a divorce procedure would take a toll on our schedules. I do not expect any alimony or any spousal benefit out this divorce since I earn enough to be independent. Is there a way to get a divorce other than the time-consuming court procedure since we are not looking forward to fighting it out? We just wish to part our ways peacefully and dissolve the marriage.
