    I'm not sure what you're asking - you said you asked for $400/month and she has agreed?

    Are you asking if you are entitled to more?

    Please help us help you :)

    Re: Divorce
    If you're asking for spousal support and she doesn't agree to the amount you want, you have a contested divorce. It's only uncontested if you agree about everything.

    yes here is the deal as of today she agrees to give me 400 a month in exchange she gets the house main custody of our youngest son but she says i can see him anytime i want so we agree on everything...today .Mr. knowitall will the uncontested divorce agreement keep her legaly having to pay me the 400 untill i die or remarry ? and can she decide later that she does not want to pay me anymore or not allow me visitation to our 8 yr old son? we also have a almost 19 year old son also but he is of age so theres no argument about that:) thanks for your help Mr. knowtitall :)

    Your unconstested divorce will provide for whatever you include in your consent judgment.
