In Texas if you have lived together & have a child that is over 10 years old but have only been legally married for seven years could your spouse be obligated to pay you spousal support even though the law says you have to be married for 10 years. Also is there such a thing as an early inheritance my husbands mother gave us a house when we were married now my husband says i cant touch it because of early inheritance. During the first part of our marriage I worked and paid the bills then the last four years I was a homemaker & he was the sole provider.

You might get a little for a year or two, but in Texas you have a better chance of support if you are disabled. You can get child support until the child is 18. Most likely if he was given the house during the marriage you will get half. You might even be able to get the entire house if you and the child will continue living there. Get yourself a really good lawyer!

He will have to pay child support cause there is a kid involved and if you was not working then he will also be paying spousal support cause you had no income and you was use to him bringing the cash home. So do not fret you wil get paid~ Cash in your hand~ And since the child is not old enough to be at home alone he will have to pay some sort of daycare fees too, they may tell you to apply for that separate once you get a job. But yes, press it out and also I know you are eligible for a increase in funds every 3 years child support payment~ I hope that helps

In most cases that is true. If the property was inherited to him before your common law marriage its just like any other marriage. It only changes however, if you had made some kind of investment on the house not including, utilities, garbage, or water. You cannot retain that asset to your benefit because on the will that he may have it will state something like this sole belongs to ??? So, good luck trying, maybe you should contact an attorney.

I don't no about spousal support if you are able to work you ussually can't get it, and if it is a inhertitance given only to him then it is just his. Sorry, but laws are different in each state. WI has no fault divorce.
