Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
We women wanted equal rights, so fair is fair. A month ago he accused me of having an affair (I wasn't), but I had been working two jobs to make ends meet because he could not find work in his field (construction), and merely sat in the garage all day getting high.
The day he accused me of having the affair, he also tried to strangle me, then smashed my phone so I could not call for help, which is an automatic felony.
I have been granted a ten-year permanent injunction and sole custody of our son, who is 8. My attorney told me not to worry; the ex cannot get support from me (we're in Florida) because of the violence.
However, I just learned from a neighbor who the ex keeps in touch with that he is planning to seek alimony from me because I was the one who made the most money throughout our nine-year-marriage.
I KNOW my attorney said not to worry, but I would like some reassurance from those who've been through it, if possible.
Thanks in advance!
