judges could be so unpredictable sometimes and i am getting nervous about this. they are still legally married because she never filed and he's been to lazy and broke to do it. Sad
3 yrs. ago she filed for CS and it had said that she is seeking spousal support also. i laughed at it because she is just such a sad individual that is full of shit but like i said the courts could be unpredictable sometimes.
when they were living together she was the one working for about 1 yr. BM was also the one that move out and into her mother's house with their newborn baby.
do any of you think that she could be granted spousal or would they laugh at her (hoping they will laugh at her greed)

I was separated from my EX for seven years. He asked for spousal support and got it. At the time, he was working for "cash under the table". He could show no income and put a big fat "0" on all his paperwork under income. I ended up having to pay him spousal support and child support because my son decided to stay with his dad during all this. When it got close to our court date and my EX knew that I had people agreeing to come into the courtroom and say they witnessed him going to work everyday, he decided to pay me back all the spousal support I had given him. Four months worth. I don't know what a court will do, but they made me pay him before I even had a chance to prove that he really was working for a living.

OMG! that is just wrong..... at least you were able to re-coup the money but dang.

I hope she is not able to get spousal support. In that amount of time she should have become more stable and able to take care of herself at least.

Geez!

********She doesn't have to love me or even like me - it doesn't change a dang thing..... So get over it and move on BM!************

oh wow! this is freaking me out!!! these laws should really be revised.
i would never want someone to be supporting me unless i am with them. i have pride. but she sees it as she will hurt him with taking his money and hurt me by having my man take care of her. and where will that leave my kids? without food? clothes? while she takes the money and buys herself new shoes and lives nice off of money that we work for? all the while not buying her daughter anything.
i am now terrified!!!
seriously this is why some men go crazy and kill the x-wives (not that that is ok but just you get what i'm saying)

and the bitch at no time is mentioning divorce...because she loves that she is still legally married to him.
she's gone as far as saying that because they got married by church no matter what they will always be married.....she has problems!

Nope. If she worked at any moment and since you wrote she worked for a year when they were together.
Spousal support is based on when they were together, married. If they were married and she never worked while they were together and then they separated, she gets Spousal support.
IF she worked. SHe gets nothing.
In fact, if your bf or husband can claim spousal support against her if he didn't work and she did and left him. She left him with baby to her mom's house. If he didn't work, he claims spousal support against her and it will reflect a few years back. Not sure if it goes all the way to 11 years.
the judge will also look at that.
