What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?califonia
My ex and I were married for 3 years and separated now for 3 years. My income is approx $80K his income is approx 50K he has been working at his current job for 10 years. He is now asking for spousal support of $400 per month.
We have one child from the marriage. I have two other children from a previous marriage, one is 18, has just gone to college and I am helping put her through school. He is also asking for child support in the amount of $500 per month. He has no other children.
I have offered him the family home that I put an initial $30k of my own money into. (My 2 older children and I lived in a trailer for 6 years to save enough money to buy a home.)
We bought the house together but it was refinanced after our initial separtion in my name only. The house is a hardship for me to maintain with a single income, the home cannot be sold for the amount due on the loan and he wants $5K - I dont even want then home.
He has been in agreement for 3 years as to the terms of separation and has now hired an attorney.
I have done the online child calculator and can come up with at the most $153 a month in child support.
This seems very unfair to me. Is there anything I can do ? An attorney is so vastly expensive. I can barely make ends meet now.
Help in ca.
