Short story...
I am 23 and live in NY. My sister is a senior in college about to graduate and go to law school (does not live with parents). My parents live in Mass. alone. My mother is threatening to divorce my father because my mother wants to wage an economic war against my sister (paying for law school). My mother and sister are in a huge fight because my sister is seriously dating some dude in Spain through a long distance relationship. My mother condems the relationship because she is convinced that this spanish dude is looking to marry my sister to bring himself and his family to the U.S.
So, my mother, wants nothing to do with my sister as long as she is dating this guy. She told my sister over christmas that she will pay for her last semester of school only (this is what my parents did for me - equal treatment of chidlren, etc)... BUT she will not support her through law school (would be over 120K total). My father on the other hand says he will continue to support her for educational purposes. Now, my mother has determined that this situation is the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." She wants to divorce my father and to disinheret my sister
Questions:
1) My mother told my father yesterday that she is going to go to the lawyer and get a "letter" to have my father kicked out of the house (something like 24 hour notice). Can she do this? My father has never abused my mother, does not drink, gamble, or do anything that would merit being thrown out of the house (unless disagreeing with my mom over how to spend their money warrants this)
2) My father is adamantly against a divorce, but he realizes that if my mother wants to go through with it, there is not all that much he can do. I told my father that if push comes to shove, he should get his own lawyer to protect himself (parents own a ton of real estate property)... Is this the right way to go?
3) My mother is a very sick person: had breast cancer, has high blood pressure, kidney problems due to all the medications she takes, etc. My father is 62 (mom is 56) and decided a while back to work until 68 because of health insurance reasons. My mom incurs over 100K a year in medical expenses that is covered by insurance. If my dad were to retire, she would not qualify for medicare since she is not of age, so my father is going to keep working at his job until my mom was of age to get medicare. So, if my mom pushes through with the divorce, will my mom have to buy her own health insurance (she is currently self employed and it would costs a ridiculous amount of money)?
the long version of the story would take me days to type out.....
