My husband and i have 5 yrs married and 1 child. We have separated, what am i entitled to?

Answer 1

You're entitled to reconcile, become a mature wife and mother, and make things right for your marriage.

Why the separation in the first place?

Aside from that, separation and divorce are two difference animals. You are still married, legally. Divorce is another ball game. Why not spare the child the lifetime fracture of their esteem, emotions, and respect of family and committment by getting the marriage back together?

Unless of course, there is physical domestic violence. If it's not that, and it's because of any other reason, than shame on the both of you for allowing your marriage to become another statistic of negative failure. You're separted, not divorced. You still ahve time and opportunity before it's too late.

Answer 2

Nice to know there are mothers out there who think of nothing more than what the are entitled to when they get divorce instead of their children. You have earned the right for your child to be bounced back and forth between yourself and your husband. You are entitled to your child using each of you against each other when they get older because you're not together. You are entitled to court dates and attorney fees. You are entitled to be another poor example and worthless statistic. Enjoy it all, you deserve it.
I went back and forth between my parents after they divorced and will never forgive them. It makes life very difficult, especially with step parents.

Answer 3

You may have to file custody of your own child in order to keep him/her. You can get your personal belongings, the child belongings and if you are contemplating divorce be specific and list everything that you want and/or need. Make sure that you remove your name from bank accounts, and credit cards and write the companies and let them know that you will not be responsible for the bills. In most states separation you get what belongs to you and your personals as well as the childs however in divorce in most states you get HALF.

Answer 4

your entitled to maintenance for the upkeep of your child, if you have a house your entitled to live there until the child is 18, but he could force you to sell. get legal advice because its different in each country.but try and keep it civil for your child, sit down and ask him to sort it out between you, because sometimes solicitors make it messy, i was fortunate mine went smoothly. good luck

Answer 5

If you are in a Community Property state typically the couple splits the debt and the assets...as for child support (if you get primary or sole custody) that'll be for the court to determine. Talk to your attorney about this, s/he can answer your questions.

Answer 6

Are you "separated" or divorced?

If you are "separated", then you are still legally entitled to everything that the social construct of marriage allows.

If you are divorced, then you are entitled only to what is stipulated in the divorce decree.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Half of everything....temporary child support.... possibly alimony..... actually you could ask to hav the house if you want and probably get it.... you can ask for more when and if you get a divorce.

Answer 10

If you didn't sign a pre-nup, half of everything. But that goes both ways.
