My husband filed for divorce, why did he lie on his complaint? Men, maybe you can...

...help me understand why.? He filed on the grounds of separation. In the state he filed, you can file for divorce on grounds of separation after you have been separated from your spouse (not living together and no sex) for 18 mos.

When he filed he stated 9 mos.

If he really wanted to get this over with then why didn't he lie and say that we have been separated for 18 mos?

He also put an entirely different year for our marriage but got the correct month, day, and year for the birthdays of our children.

He also had 20 days after I filed my repsonse to amend the complaint...but he didn't. He has also changed his number, his gf too. The judge is dismissing the petition b/c the ground is not valid.

Why is did he do that? I don't get it. He also got his fees waived claiming to be unemployed, but now I found out he is employed and I know where he works.

Maybe it's nothing to worry about, but what is the meaning of all this?

Just wondering b/c his ex-wife filed and she waited 18 mos to file.
no, he is representing himself.

So let me get this straight...His been married twice?? and the first ex-wife filed for divorce? hmmm..ok you need to leave him and moveon. Who cares what he did on the forms or what he didn't . The truth is that both of you are divorcing each other. Move on and Live your life now.

Well, maybe he will lie in court, too. Be prepared - bring evidence.

If what you've stated is true...I would contact the district attorney's office. Your ex has filed papers and intentionally supplied false information. This is a felony crime.

Either he has a lousy lawyer or he got the dates confused with another wife he wanted to divorce from, without get caught for bigamy.
