Filing For A Divorce
With that in mind, Leslie went to a lawyer and asked for a divorce. The lawyer thought the situation was unusual because couples usually came together to demonstrate that the divorce was mutually agreed upon by both parties. However, Leslie explained her situation to the man, stating that she had no idea whether or not her husband was alive.
Strange Circumstances
The lawyer agreed that the situation was unusual. They could proceed, however, because there was a case with the police and she had been alone for 17 years. Leslie, on the other hand, needed to be certain of one thing because she and Jacob were married in community of property. Would he get anything if he decided to come back?
