Q: I'm a military wife with two children.(4,11) I have been a stay-at-home mom. I want a divorce
My husband has been going to school getting his degree and climbing the latter in rank with the army national guard. I have been home raising the kids which has left me with no type of income. He is aggressive and has a temper. I no longer feel safe with me and my children in the home. I'm trying to figure out what I am entitled to financially in a divorce so I can get my kids in a healthy environment? Is it possible for me to receive child support and temporary spousal support? We have been married for 5years.
A:
Hi. I am not a family law attorney, but IMO you need to protect yourself and your children from someone aggressive with a temper, before there is violence. Contact a family law attorney in your area right away. There may be local shelters for you to take your kids to. Spousal abuse can take several forms, including mental/emotional abuse as well as physical abuse. Get help right away.
