Studio City, CA asked in Criminal Law, Divorce, Family Law and Domestic Violence for California

Q: Hello, during a divorce if my spouse is working and I'm not, can I have her pay for my legal expenses?

I was the one supporting the both of us while together. I had to stop working and she (finally) got a job when we separated.

I also have recordings of her cheating, stealing from me, tampering with my food with his bodily fluids, and talking about ways to kill me, with her saying "I could always claim self defense"... (not in danger anymore, we're separated).

She got pregnant by me, and had an abortion, (I was unaware), while we were supposedly trying to conceive.
