Well there's always legal aid.  If you have proof that he cheated, or if he admits, since its his fault the marriage failed you should get alimony.  And no matter what, if you get the kids, he'll pay child support no matter what the situation

I divorced her because she cheated on me.  When she started threatening to sue me for alimony I told her that if she continued to push the issue I'd send a copy of her letter to the judge, the one where she admitted committing adultery.\n\nWhere she lives, if you are caught or proved to have committed adultery you go to jail.  That was how I over rode Bess.

Check with your housing office.  Don't try to get away with anything, some spouse with nothing better to do will rat you out.

first thing first...you better have a damn good lawyer....someone like Jhonnie Cochran (he's dead so dont even bother trying to find him, besides you wouldnt be able to afford him)....anyways...you gonna needs tons of evidence to prove your marriage was in good faith.....here are few thing you will definitely need:\n\nJoint bank accounts \npast 2-3 yrs of joint federal tax return\nApartment or house lease or deed showing both your names\nutility bills such as electric, phone, cable showing both ur names\nTons of pictures before and after marriage of you and your spouse together\nPay stubs of you and your husbands showing same residence address\nIf you have a baby with him....that a definite plus\nJob letter from both your employers showing your marital status and income as well as other information like hire date etc...\n\nummm...thats all i could think of for now....there is more....and the more proof you can provide the better it is....\n\nas for proof of spousal abuse...well if you get a beat down to a pulp and you hv tons of bruises ...and you go the police station to report the physical abuse with evidence (showing bruises) .....having a filed complaint with police if you husband allegedly beat you then that might help...but then again...that wouldnt work...because if you're lying and get caught....since ur already in trouble for cheatin on your husband with another guy...the bottom line is ...you're in trouble...no ifs and buts about it...i suggest you resolve any animosity you have with you husband as he is clearly the only one who can save you from all this trouble....like i said before in another one of your question...you screwed yourself...don't go blaming your husband for you falling "out' of love with him...

Yes!  Your first priority should be to your kids.  They aren't safe with your husband and you need to get them away now.  Call legal aid or see if you make payments to a lawyer.  Or see if in your state you can file on your own.  Make sure you have proof of whatever accusations you are going to bring up in court.  Document everything, it will help you later on.  Also depending on the ages of the kids, I would ask for supervised visitation due to him still talking to the perp.

Yes - I agree.  Get a lawyer and appeal.  My husband worked for 30 yrs. or so and finally had to quit because of bipolar and his meds.  He applied twice, was turned down both times.  We finally found a reasonable attorney and just last month, my husband received his first check for 1,100.00.  Just don't give up - keep trying, okay?

Will this affect any alimony you get? If he loses his job will you lose too?\n\nGetting revenge is not always as sweet as it seems. Make sure you know what your doing.

Wal-Mart does a lot of unfair employment practices, but that is another battle all together.  Technically, yes, they can do that, because they can use the excuse that they do not someone with a criminal record to hold the position he currently holds.  Some places can demand an absolutely immaculate record.\n\nNow as for you and your kids, do you make enough to be able to support them on your own?  If not, the court will likely order your husband to pay child support should you decide to divorce and are granted custody.  It's a pain to go to court, but you gotta do what you gotta do.  Men need to understand that hitting a woman is NEVER ok.  EVER.\n\nIt's likely that if he is found guilty, he will be deemed an unfit parent and you will be automatically granted custody of your children.  Then, depending on your income, he will likely be made to pay child support, and if he does lose his job, the court has programs and methods to help him find a new one.\n\nIf you are low-income (just your income), most cities have free or cheap healthcare for low-income families and individuals.  For example, I live in New Mexico and University of New Mexico Hospital offers free healthcare with only small copays for doctors visits and small charges for prescriptions to people who make less than $20,000 per year.  Spousal support and child support do not usually need to be included in that.\n\nSpeaking of spousal support, you may be entitled to that, or "alimony" as well.  If you have been married more than 7 years (in most states) and you had the reasonable expectation that your husband would be the family's primary financial provider for the rest of your life, he may have to pay not only to support the children, but to support you too.  This is a little trickier to get than child support, so you might want to speak with a good, experienced lawyer.\n\nWell, I hope that all helps!

He's dodging his responsibilities at home. Consult a divorce attorney and then tell him that if he doesn't make you a priority in his life, you'll divorce him and take half his money and make him pay alimony.

Yikes!  Ask some local attorneys what options you have.  Some may take payments in increments.  It could be that if you take him to court he'll have to suck up most of the cost anyway, even back child support since you have been separated.  Never hurts to make some phone calls!  Much luck to you.  I think you'll find this is easier than you think, it's just annoying as hell.

Where in the world do you live?  I have never heard of a man being able to kick a wife and 3 children out of their home.  Have you talked to a lawyer, are any of your children also his biological children, if not you could have problems, bless the little children who have to go through emotional pain caused by care less adults.\n\nBlubla

NO...the US Supreme Court ruled several years ago that the prior assets and current income of a parent's spouse (In this case, you) cannot be presumed to be available for the purposes of child support or spousal support, even in states where all income is otherwise considered to be community property and all debts considered to be joint obligations...that means you are not legally on the hook for his kids and his ex wife can't try to get your house...in a nutshell.\nIf you two marry and he stops working or something, they can haul his tail to prison if they have cause to believe that he's willfully avoiding his obligation, but your paycheck cannot be considered in deciding or fulfilling his support order.\nYou will want to consult an attorney specialising in family law about specifics such as whether you should file your taxes jointly or seperately, how a jointly purchased home should be deeded and to draw up a prenuptual agreement about any inheritance you may recieve in the future and MAKE OUT A WILL....Both of you.\n(the Supreme Court ruling left some confusion about the distribution of assets aquired by one party but within the marriage)

I doubt it. Alimony is totally different than plain old child support.

Ex-husband or boyfriend? If he has no legal claim over the house call the cops. If he does then leaving with your kids sounds like the only reasonable option.
