I just dropped a DM case against my husband (we've been separeted since march), my attorney recommend not to but i just wanted to avoid headache. she requested then a child support, my husband told her he is making 500 a week and agreed to pay 100 a week. He also had our son monday and tuesday, he said want sundays and mondays in order to work more and make more money, sunday is sacrated to me and i really didnt want to but my attorney said i had no option once i lost my job im doing uber and i have a more flexible schedule.

A:
Thank you for your question.
The best way to pursue spousal support without getting divorced is through the FD-non-dissolution docket, There, you can request spousal support, as well as designate the case complex. A complex designation will allow you to request discovery, i.e., bank statements, paystubs, etc.
I highly recommend you retain an attorney to help you file and argue the case the right way.
