i guess i should clarify myself a little more. been married for 17 years he never wanted me to work. he was very controlling. and if i could do without his money i would. my rent and bills run around $2000 and thats not including food gas or other necessities. and yes i have always been faithful.i dont go anywhere. he does and comes anywhere from 2 am - 7 am from doing his drugs and alcohol.

You already stated it..."HIS LAWYER"
Go get your own now, you are entitled to half his income as a wife so take your half and find a lawyer of your own and file BEFORE the bankruptcy. I'm not completely sure but if he is paying child support and alimony (which I would ask for at least until you get a good paying job) he may not have to file bankruptcy after all.

If you really want a divorce why are you worring about chil support?Why not just worrying about standing on your own two feet ,that will get under his skin more than having to pay x amount $ every month
just think it over the best revenge is bettering yourself plan it thru and move on

u should file now not after the bancrupcy. go to legal adie see if they can help u with it.child support is dependant on what one is earning.

i'm guessing you should be looking for a better paying job then
you shouldn't need a man to support you

Sounds like you just want to get the most money from him as possible.
Why don't you try and be fair with him instead?
