kduran341 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I live in California. My husband and I separated 1 1/2 months ago. He does not want to get back together but does not want me to file for a divorce. He says I should wait until our 16 year old daughter turns 18 in a year & half. So she doesnt have to go thru that trauma. My question is, if I wait that long to ask for a divorce am I still intitled to spousal support after waiting that long?
carhill Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 File for a legal separation and request spousal support and child support in the filing. Here's a good place to start IMO, and I went through the process of divorce, concluding about a year ago, he's seeking to limit his financial exposure and costs by 'waiting'. If that wait does not otherwise burden you, for example if you are financially independent and in no need of support or child expense assistance, then that's one path. If other, other. You know your situation best. Good luck and welcome to LS
