My husband and I have been married for a little over a year at this point. We have a fantastic baby girl whom is seven months old. We own a home and a condo on the beach. I do not work...I am a stay at home mom. I am not on the mortgage of either home but am on the deeds to both. I have not worked since before we were married due to physical problems in my pregnancy. I am willing and able to work now...husband does not want me to.
If we split ... (we are in counseling but its not helping to much at the moment) ... how will everything be spilt between us? We live in KY.
Thank you

Kentucky, according to Divorce Interactive, is an equitable distribution state in regards to splitting assets. However, any marital assets brought into the marriage would remain the property of that particular spouse. Child support is based on a percentage of both parent's gross income. Child custody is based on the child's best interests. Have you tried another counselor before considering divorce? Each counselor or therapist has their own approach. Good luck!

Well you havent been married for too long so I am not sure that you would be entitled to that much. Why are you having so many problems? You should try to work them out, but obviously sometimes people cant work past their differences. If you were awarded alimony it wouldnt be that much or for that long because you had such a short marriage. And about the houses I dont think that looks good either. I recommend getting a great divorce attorney if it comes down to it. Because in those types of things thats all that is going to matter is how good your attorney is.

Not sure about the state laws, but you're covered as far as the homes being that you are on the deed. Everything will be split 50/50, again check on your state laws. The only items that are not split 50/50 is anything acquired prior to marriage that only has one persons name on it if that is required and if a persons name is not required on it. You may have options for spousal support if you were always a stay at home mom.

this is incredibly trouble-free for a relationship to pass downhill after marriage. previously marriage, the couple is training something--they are construction the relationship to the utmost element they might think of of, marriage. After marriage, some couples would desire to locate themselves only attempting to maintain the relationship, which motives it to experience stagnate or that the "spark" that they had is long previous. Even worse, some couples provide up working altogether and thats whilst relationships go downhill after marriage--and why we've a what, 50% divorce value in the U.S.?

Let me tell the facts Sweetie. The one with the best lawyer usually is the winner.And they are not really the winner because the lawyers end up getting most of the money.There are all sorts of games the lawyers play too.They like to continue cases a lot.This costs u $$$$$$$$!! So be careful and GOOD LUCK!!

your baby deserves to be parented by both parents.
first off, a new marriage and a new baby are very stressfull.
research the true meaning of marriage and commitment.
GROW UP AND BECOME FUNCTIONAL PARENTS AND SPOUSES.
WHEN THE TOUGH GETS GOING, TRY HARDER.
do everything possible to save your marriage and family.
divorce is just a cop out for immature, selfish people, who don't know the true meaning of hard work and commitment.

1st try another counselor! See a lawyer about all the legal stuff and also get going on writing up a will for your girl, protect yourself financially in case a split does happen. Hope it doesn't!

You need to talk to a divorce lawyer. Usually everything is split down the middle.

What are you in counseling for? Is it because you don't work and want to? There's got to be more to this. Can't give an accurate answer until more is revealed.
