STBX Incarcerated

Hi All,

Found out some new information about my divorce process. STBX was arrested yesterday (like I already knew would happen) for violating his probation. I finally got to speak to my lawyer to find out how this will affect my divorce.

The Bad news: Yes, I have to pay for a GAL for stbx since he is in jail and I want the divorce.

The Good news: Chances are I will get reimbursed for this fee from another financial assistance program. And since we have a signed seperation agreement the GAL may only cost around $500.

More Good news: Child support is not affected. Incarceration is considered voluntary unemployment. He will owe me the money when he gets out of jail/prison. Incarceration DOES NOT affect our signed agreement. Our aggreement will become the divorce decree as planned. Cool!!!

The end is in sight.

Thanks for the support.
