get a job or go on welfare
you can use your husband's credit card account to pay for a consultation with a lawyer...

I got divorced and have 2 children. Can you afford an attorney? You can legally separate in order to get child support and alimony and then usually after one year of legal separation, your divorce is legal. Depending on what state your in, he will have to pay a certain percentage of his gross wages for child support and alimony. In your legal separation agreement, that would all be documented as well as any visitation schedule. Good Luck!!!

I got divorced after having my fifth child. I only worked part time during my marriage. I decided to go back to college. Depending on your state the possibilities are endless. Call your local Dept. of Health and Human Services Office (welfare office) to find out what your options are in your state.

as a child of a divorced couple, my advice would be to not get divorced. but you probably dont wanna hear that. i dunno, im 15 now, and i was 12 or 13 when it all happened, and they are STILL going through legal issues about "child support...who's gonna pay tuition for high school...who gets to see who and when and for how long...etc..."
to make a long story short, if you haven't given love a chance with your husband here, then give it a chance; do it for the kids. they need it more than you do.

get a divorce,dont let not working stop you,thats the oldest excuse in the book,hellprobally have to pay support,it depends on his exxpenses and the amount he makes,as for you not working the judge will tell you to get a job,what are you going to do,expect some one else to support you for the rest of your life

You and a few million other women. Your situation is not a problem. See a divorce lawyer.

MY EXPERIENCE: my ex didnt work until my daughter was 7yr. didnt get support until then. they didnt put him jail either. we never married.
so its ok to get a divorce even with kids.
call the welfare office or call your local child support division (maybe same number) ak at welfare office for that division. they can help.

if these will be your only income,then there are a lot of things to consider,one,that you may have to move or change your life style,yet there are many programs for single moms,that will help you gain some employment and even provide day care,good luck.
