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!
I'm in NH, age 45, daughter 10, in college full time when we met and married- stopped for children- stay at home mom all along-Married 11.5 years. tried to complete degree with no support from spouse (time and again) convinced me, freinds, family, drs and counselors he was incapable of intercourse, is now in an intimate relationship with another women. He moved out because of a restraining order but I still wanted to try and make things work, he would not move back in- now i know why (other women). Signed numerous agreements stating he would help and pay me through finishing school. Now I'm living on nothing, filed for disability (neck injury) also accepted at local tech for Paralegal certificate program start in Sept. I only want child support guidelines and alimony until i can finish school, start work and buy ou the home from him. Problem is buy out requires 10% equity in home to qualify for buy out-regardless of anything else. I have no control over market which inhibits buy out. Our family home only one daughter and i have ever known- she is established, comfortable with many freinds- Mortgage is cheaper than any rent any where! how can I get him off the mortgage off the loan etc and still keep family home when he wants to be free to buy his own home too. (can't have name on another promissary note) I am trying to pay all my bills on $155. a week, I get food stamps, medicaid and all assistance i can recv- but I can not make the $175. minimum payment on my credit card which has $10,ooo. of my attorney fees on it. signed desperate in NH where is the justice
