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!
My ex and I were wed in 94. After ten years, we called it off. She was maxing out every single credit card and ruined my credit. Anyway, in 2004, we seperated. She just recently filed for a divorce in roughly may of 2007. We have lived separately from each other for 3 1/2 years and she has done fine to support herself. I gave her EVERYTHING that we had, including all of our brood mares and my stallion. All that I took was my van, my clothes, and my one horse. I had no place to go, I ended up living at a barn in my van. She recieves ss and has no job but has done perfectly fine supporting herself for almost 4 years on her own. She has filed to recieve spousal support. I will be moving out of state in the middle of August and the job that I was supposed to have fell through and I will be losing my current job in August. What I want to know is, can she get spousal support after supporting herself on her own for four years. Please help.
