    Default Who Should Get the Marital Home

    I plan on moving back to Michigan soon. Can I legally ask for the marital home to live in since i will have my kids 95% of the time.
    Plus can I get alimony and child support. I am the one who left the home but i plan on moving back to get full custody and child support, i was just wondering if I am entitled to the home and alimony as well.

    You can ask for anything you want. Getting it? That's another story.

    You don't ask for much, do you.

    Whether you can retain the marital home is something that would be determined within the context of the full facts of the case and the size of the estate. Odds are if you are allowed to remain in it, you would either have to buy out your ex's share or he would get his share when the house is sold. As you intend to move, what difference does it make to you?

    Whether or not you would qualify for spousal support also depends upon the facts of the case, your relative incomes, your earning capacity, etc., and we have no information upon which to even guess.
