Q: Me and my husband has been together for 17 years we have 3 children his income is 6000 a month we decided to split
because he cheated, I have no income he has agreed to give me 3000 a month but I have to pay all the bills which will leave me with 200 left over which is not enough to cover child care when I start working, do you think excepting the 3000 Is my best option or would I be eligible for more at the moment he lives in a company apt, which leaves his expenses at 1 car note, insurance phone bill and health insurance
A: This isn't a question that can be answered here. Child support and alimony are based upon a number of factors, some of which you haven't mentioned. You should consult with an attorney and after they review all the income, expense and debt information, then can give you informed advice.
