Q: Husband filed a disillusion and is pushing me to sign it I told him I want spousal support
He redid the paperwork and said his lawyer said we come up with an amount not the judge
A: You absolutely need your own lawyer to advise you. Once signed, the dissolution cannot be changed. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local domestic relations attorney to advise you ASAP.
A: All i can state based on the information provided is that you have a right to have the dissolution petition and proposed separation agreement reviewed by an attorney. You may certainly agree to anything you actually wish, however you really should have a local lawyer review your facts and the proposed agreement before signing. Whether a court would grant spousal support depends on a number of factors which this question does not indicate one way or the other. Good luck.
