d0nnivain Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It depends. Laws vary from state to state If you are already separated, you may be entitled to it. It may be factored into equitable distribution & the need for future support. Don't not work because of this because even if you aren't working but the court concludes that you are capable of working & earning some type of income, the court can hold that potential income against you even if it's not actual money in your pocket. Do what you need to do to support yourself. Worry about future splits later. Link to post Share on other sites
DivorcedDad123 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Any attorney worth their salt is going to request that your income be imputed at minimum wage, regardless of how little you make, as long as your able bodied and can work. Income during the divorce, with no court order, isnt going to be split by either party. The only thing would be child support if you're physically seperated and have children. The party with custody of the children can then ask for retroactive child support to the date of seperaration. Its not guaranteed though. Link to post Share on other sites
