Q: Not sure where to start,I was in an 18 year marriage & my husband moved out, I was a stay at home wife with 3 kids
What do I do now? Do I have any rights as a stay at home wife. I have medical condition and honestly I don’t know what my next steps should be ? Any names or numbers of lawyers that can help in Fresno
A:
You just came out of a long-term marriage. Your next step is to speak with an attorney. There are certain presumptions that apply when you're in a long-term marriage. There are certain hardships you can argue to augment support. But you need to get yourself to an attorney.
I used to live in Fresno and can recommend some excellent attorneys up there if you want to reach out directly.
I'm sorry this is happening to you, and wish you luck as you move forward.

A: You do have rights, particularly in the area of spousal support. I handle cases all over the state, but if you want someone based out of Fresno, contact Rhonda Murphy @ 559-497-5555, email murphylawfirm22@gmail.com. I've known her for over 28 years and have worked with her before.
