alimony

[nicsmom805]

What is the name of your state? NY
My husband and I have been together for 15 years. We have only been married 5.5 years. He has been having an affair with his cousin, and moved out of our home. He moved back in because he wanted to work on our marriage. Things were good for 2 days, and he started seeing her again. He did not move his stuff out this time, but he comes home to shower, and change. He will not give me money for bills, but is paying the bills at her appartment. Our home is for sale, but it will probably be going into foreclosure, before it sells. He was sleeping on the couch, but has not slept home for the last 3 nights. We have 2 vehicles nad they are both in his name. I have always driven the Jeep. We used my car as a trade in. We bought this in 4/99, and we were married in 7/00. He says it is his, and he can take it anytime he wants. I bought an anti thief device and put it on the clutch, when ever I go to bed or park it at work. He has a car. I have a 16 year old son, by a previous marriage, and we live in the country, so I need a car. I want to know if I would be able to get alimony from him, and what some of my options are. Thank you.

Your marriage is likely to be considered short term, and therefore alimony is unlikely.

As for the car - a lot depends on how it's titled.
