need support going through divorce after 29 years husband cheated what are my rights?

Answer 1

Half of everything and alimony if you were a stay at home wife who took care of the house and kids

Answer 2

Bailee, whenever getting involved with a man, you need to do a screening process, just like a job interview. He wasn't fit to work with your company, not a good fit at all. The red flags for you should have been two ex-wives. You're not too far off from being the third. If you're so scared of losing the lifestyle you live, there is alimony and child support you know. Your weight has nothing to do with him. He's a lying cheating dog and that's his character. You cannot change him. Who he is is who he is. Bottom line. You're gonna end up getting an STD behind this loser. Oh and how do I know about the alimony and child support? My classmate's husband cheated and she kept taking him to court and by the time she was done, he was forced to live with his mistress because he couldn't afford to live anywhere else. Another man was living out of his firehall when his wife got done with him. I wouldn't have any sympathy or compassion either. You just had a baby so of course your self esteem is down in the dumps. Lose that extra weight by burning more calories and consuming less calories, if you want to. All the while you'll be looking better, be down at the court house getting your money.

Answer 3

I don't understand what do you mean your rights? Do you mean if you divorce him. I would imagine that a great deal after 29 years of marriage. I would imagine 1/2 of his retirement, alimony if you have not worked in a while. The house etc. Especially since he cheated get a good attorney. I would divorce him so fast his head would spin off. I believe they will even go after him for the attorney fees as well. Contact an attorney and ask him all of the questions that you have. Write them down so you won't forget anything. I am so
sorry for your pain. Good luck and God bless****

Answer 4

I am very, very sorry to hear you are going through this!

(My mother went through the same thing 10 plus years ago, and it was a terrible ordeal....She was bedridden, depressed, had to be hospitalized and lost 70 pounds.) Long story short, my dad married his secretary (who is 3 years younger than me..and has a son with her.) My mom is looking great, has had 2 boyfriends -one proposed, but she declined- and has done all the travelling and the kind of things she never did before because she was so busy catering to my dad. Guess what? She now says she wouldn't take him back- and I believe her. Him? He's turned into a workaholic, rarely spends time with his new family, and still feels very guilty of the way he acted back then, and how much he made everyone suffer.

Perhaps you should consider going to therapy or counseling ASAP!
If you can, also talk to your pastor or priest.
Family and friends' support is essential; so look for help and don't be alone...although this is most likely what you'll feel like doing: sleeping and trying to survive the next hour.

A nice website you can try is Lovingyou.com. I visited it about 3 years ago and all the people there were very nice, and most are mature, kind people with experience..(not the case here in YA...)

You will be in my prayers. Take care of yourself now....!
Don't think you are being selfish, OK?
Time will help you see things in a different light....

Answer 5

The ones above forgot to add that you are entitled to at least half of his retirement as well plus he should carry you on his health insurance for at least 18 months after the divorce and/or after that offer to cover you with a COBRA-you should get alimony or maintenance and child support until kids are 18 or until they finish college.Assets should be divided in half-As far as the cheating they do nothing about that its just your grounds for divorce but they(attornies) will change it-I don't know why-

Answer 6

First of all, I feel and understand your pain. It's going to be a little difficult, but my best advice to you is for you to first seek the advice of a good divorce attorney. This very long marriage will entitle you to receive half of your husband's assets plus spousal support, which you deserve. You've made a huge investment in your marriage and most likely trusted your husband and loved him for a very long time. Dont' short change yourself. You need to think about your financial future. So please, seek the advice of a good attorney. Then make sure to keep in close contact with your friends and family members for emotional support. Good luck to you. Things will get better.

Answer 7

Just don't think that once you leave and meet someone else he won't cheat too. All men do. Good luck. Your rights? Go ask a lawyer but don't worry the man almost always gets screwed in a divorce.

Answer 8

While he's still feeling like the hunk of poo he is, go to an Attorney and have a "post nuptial" drawn up. Get all you can and he'll agree to it. Then, it doesn't matter how long it takes, he has to give you what he said he would. Your life has changed, so make sure you stay true to yourself. Don't change yourself. Get him off everything you have, soon. Give him time limits to get all his crap out of the house. Your best friend will get you through this. Keep kids out of all the venom.

Answer 9

Find a lawyer first. Make sure your allegations are true. Make sure your finances are in their proper places (transfer as much as you can of your money into your personal account), talk to your kids about it if you have kids. You are legally entitled to 50% of everything that was brought into the marriage - assets and money. You are entitled to child support if you have minors staying with you. You are entitled to spousal support as well if you are not working. But you have to prove he did cheat on you.

Answer 10

It may vary by state but where I am at I was told unless you have photo's or someone who will testify to it being true, you can't prove it.

The above answer is correct, but that is in every divorce not just adultery cases.
