I have been married 20 years. I am a stay at home mom. I have never had a job, but I raised our 5 kids. I am leaving my husband and want to know if he is legally obligated to help me with spousal support, even though we are not divorced. For the last 2 -3 years he has basically only paid for rent and food. I have gotten no clothes, shoes, hair cuts, no movies etc. I do not even have a car, as mine was repossesed because he wouldn't help me pay anymore.He has told me if I leave him he will take custody of our minor daughter, who is 13 years old. Does she have a say in who she wants to live with? Remember, I have no job, no car, and no means of supporting her, except for him.All of our things are in storage(19 months now, and he quit paying for it. All my lifes treasures like my photo albums, year books, kids baby books and first hand prints, not to mention all their trophies. My oldest son was a valedictorian and his gold cap and gown are in storage too.Our home was foreclosed
