You need to speak to at least one other lawyer. From what I've read, you're entitled to alimony, child support, etc. Do not think for one second that if the situation were reversed, your W wouldn't go after it.
You may want to get this over with as quickly as possible. But the decisions you're making right now are going to affect you and your kids for the rest of your life. No offense, but you've got much bigger things to worry about than your cat.
we dont have any children together. ive actually talked to 3 different lawyers and they have said about the same thing.
Ok, I misread your opening post.
no worries. i do have a 11 yr old daughter but she is from another relationship.
I can't believe you're not entitled to alimony. What does she do for a living? I know the family courts are extremely biased against men, but still.
she works in payroll. the thing that hurts me from getting spousal support is i have a monthly income. our length of marriage. she makes more then i do but its not quite enough more to make a difference. like you said the courts are extremely biased against men. if i spend all my resources on a lawyer and things not go my way i would lose half of my settlement to her. i did have a few things that might help me get support. she blindsided me with the divorce giving me no time to prepare and im disabled and i would need to learn a new profession to work. at best i would get temporary help. it would be a huge gamble for me. if i lost i would be in a worse position then im in now.
