Quote Quoting IAAL
My dear Rmet:

I based my response on the following two statements:

  • "b/c he has taken care of me financially for the past 6 years and he won't anymore."

and

  • "I have been a stay at home for the past 6 years."


. . . both are indications of a "short term marriage" e.g., something less than 10 years.

Also, she mentioned that:

  • "He's agreed to give me 1,300 of his 3,900 monthly income"


. . . which is an indicator of "spousal support" - - for an indeterminate period of time.

So, until she comes back to clarify what she means, I stand by my response.

My Dear IAAL,
You omitted the portion of her post indicating that it was not spousal support and that he would file for ful custody if she wanted more.
He's agreed to give me 1,300 of his 3,900 monthly income but thats all. He won't give up any of his pension or IRA's. He said he will not pay allimony b/c he has taken care of me financially for the past 6 years and he won't anymore. I feel that is too little and he said if I ask for more that he would fight for full custody.
She never states how long they have been married and the issue or her MS complicates matters. She definately needs her own attorney.
