WHAT FINANCIAL SUPPORT CAN I GET FROM MY HUSBAND WHO JUST LEFT ME?

QUESTION: What financial support can I get from my husband who just left me? My husband just left me for another woman, and we have a 1 year old baby together. How much does he need to pay for child support and we also own a car together, does he still need to pay for my car?


MY RESPONSE: You should file and serve a Divorce case and an Order to Show Cause for Child Custody, Child Support, Spousal Support, and Attorney's fees. You would best be represented by an experienced Family Law Attorney.

Temporary Spousal Support is set by a guideline in your county, based on your husband's income and your income.

Temporary Child Support is set by a guideline in your county, based on your husband's income, your income, and the percentage of your husband's custodial timeshare.

It is unlikely that the Court would order your husband to make your car payments, in addition to Child Support and Spousal Support.

If your husband earns substantially more than you do, you would qualify for an order requiring your husband to pay all or at least some of your attorney's fees.
