[quote]Hi, I'm 52, live in MO. and have been married 20 years, 3 girls ages .16-13&11. I am, and have always been the main care giver,all the cooking, shoping, most of the driving, I,m the one who sits up with the sick child, She has never made it to a doc apt, I gave up my career, to support hers (she has at least for 12 years made alot more $ than me. 110k for her,16k for me, she droped some wt, changed her hair, bought all new everything, got a belly button ring, and wants to go find her soul mate. What rights do I have, don't the courts always favor the mom? [/quote]
I would get a good attorney. Given your kids ages, their wishes (especially the older ones) may be considered.
You are definitely looking at getting spousal support. Given the length of the marriage, it may be indefinite.
Has your stbx (soon to be ex) stated she wants custody?
