If my wife and I were seperated for over seven years ( not

legally) can she divorce me and take half of my savings(lottery winnings)?

If so is there a way I can prevent her from doing this besides getting back together?

Divorce, yes. Lottery winnings, most likely not, but it is best that you discuss the essential facts with a matrimonial law attorney.

She can divorce you, yes. take half of savings? I need to know a lot more to give you any advice.

There is a lot at risk here, and you do not want to lose all of that.

You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.

I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.

This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
