You can request spousal support and anything else you believe you are entitled to. Note that the length of the marriage... Read more »

California family code 755 gave authority to slash my retirement benefits in half pending court resolution behind my ex s request. Leaving me with all the bills then cutting my check in half that I can no longer afford to pay, how is this justifiable?
