Ambi, I'm new here but wanted to tell you I would give you the biggest hug right now if I could. My heart hurts when I see this happening even for others now. I am going through what you are now. H left in Feb. He's had no contact with me or our D11 except for 2 visits with her and then I got served papers the week before Thanksgiving.
Please find out what you are entitled to. Unfortunately in my state, all 4 attorneys I met with said it's too bad I wasn't a stay at home mom all these years because as it stands I won't get any maintenance. Find out everything and good luck.
Also H maintained for the entire separation that he would pay for D11 private school tuition and fees but when papers were sent he refused. A warning....they seem to change their attitude quickly so things he may be agreeing to now may change.....I'm only learning this as I go.
