My husband and I were a coupe for twenty years before we married. Then were married for 10 years, 8 mos. before the finalization of the divorce, which he initiated less than two years after simply walking away from our marriage for no, (know to me), reason, and I have many witnesses as to how good and faithful a wife I was to him. I responded the documents that were served to me that I was not willing to divorce him, but the court proceeded anyway granting him the divorce. During my own research, based on the information in the documents, I learned that he lied to Iowa, who has a residency restrictions regarding divorce, and that we had irreconcillable differences. The bottom line is, this man, whom I had served, and supported in every way for all the years we were together, including our marriage left me broke, (took every dime we had left with him when he left), and destitute having to start my life all over again at the age of 52. Not only did I Iiterally have no money, I had no car, and after begging me to move in with my sister, with the promise that he "will take care of everything", months prior to his leaving, left me right there, destitute.
I want to sue his estate. Is this possible?
