After 26 years & she wants spousal support What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? PA.
3 years ago I lost a lot of money in a bad investment, we agreed that it was a good one at the time, which could eventually lead to bankruptcy. 2 years ago my wife had an emotional affair, (she said it was sexless) April 2003 my wife of 26 years left me. Claiming emotional, physical, & mental abuse, all unfounded, she took all of her stuff and half of our stuff. Her lady friend encouraged her to take care of herself, so she moved out with our 17 year old daughter. After 4 weeks my daughter moved back with me and has been with me since, she is now 18 and has a job. Recently my wife got wind that I might be able to have a complete financial recovery with another business. It has not happened yet. She filed for spousal support against me, and I counter filed. Our house, valued at $200,000, is about 3 months away from foreclouser. I have 2 cars, 1990 Toyota, 1989 Caravan, we jointly own a 1997 Bonnieville that she drives. I have a savings of $25.00 and app. $150.00 avg balance in the checking. She has not given me any money to help with any bills while raising our daughter. I work 2 jobs, about 55-60 hours a week.Total income from last year was $22,000. My 1 job pays all of our health insurance, $5.00 co-pay. She works cleaning houses off and on and for the postoffice 1 day a week. She can work other jobs but does not. As far as her financials I know that she has a $3,000 CD in the bank with her and all 4 of kids names on it. As of now I do not know if she has a boyfriend or what she does with all her free time. We are having our meeting at the courthouse to be decided who will get money. I am really not interested in getting any money from her but I also don't want to give her any money and I don't want to have to go through this again. Any suggstion on how I should prepare for this meeting, I do not have enough to hire an attorney. |
