Q: How will judge few her wanting support?
We are no longer living together. She filed for divorce. We are now to the point that there will soon be a trial about the separation of property and support. I live on SS. She lives on SS and has a small part time job. According to her financial affidavit she as more available income each month than I do.
According to the paper work I just received she is asking for support. I believe that is becasue she has no idea if I am working, or whatever I am doing.
I assume under these conditions the judge will not grant her support, which I have no way of paying at this point. This is my first question, how will the judge look at this? I am starting a new online business that she is not aware of. It does not make money at this point.
Thanks, Michael
A: The judge will look at everything that is presented as evidence and then decided who should get or do what.
A: If you're "now to the point that there will soon be a trial about the separation of property and support," it sounds like you already have an attorney. Your attorney should know all the details and you ought to ask him or her this question rather than a bunch of strangers to whom you're not giving the details, unless you don't trust your lawyer's answer. If you don't trust your lawyer's answer you need a new lawyer.
