I am separated from my wife for 10 months now. She left me with primary custody of our 2 boys. She left me for another man, & is even now pregnant with his child. She initially brought up spousal support against me, but I threatened to countersue her for child support and she dropped the charges. Well, the welfare system put her up to it again. The case was seen already at a support conference and the mediator, or whatever he was, deemed the case worthy of going to a hearing, where as she may be entitled to up to $450 a month from me. On the very same day as this conferense I filed the paperwork to countersue for child support. Being that she in fact made the choice to leave for another man & even have his baby, is there any reason I should have to support my family & now hers?
There are many factors to SS in PA. One of them is length of marriage, which you have not stated. The other is fault. If you can prove that she commited adultry while you were married that would also play into if support is granted or not. If you go to the PA divorce law web site it will list all the factors in awarding support.
