divorce

What is the name of your state? ma
Hello:
i'm ready to file for divorce. What forms do I need to fill out?
my husband is not going to cooperate and i'm afraid it's going to get nasty.
what can I do to reduce all posiible fighting and dirt but also get enough money to support myself and my child? (i will need some time to get a full time job and find good day care for the child, plus I need to continue my education in order to get better paid jobs)
we have a 1 year old baby. I work only part time. we've been married for 3 years and I'm in the process of getting a permanent resident status(just filed I-751). my name is not on the house but my husband refinanced 2 times since we 've been married. I used to pay the bills, but now he does and the mortgage as well. There are two more loans my husband incurred with my name on them, how do i take this responsibility off my shoulders after the divorce?
I'd like to know what to expect in general ( the least amount we are entitled to).
thank you very much for your help

Ika, there is no way an internet message board can help you find out all of the answers to your posts. You're posting in alimony, you're posting in child support, you're in divorce now....and you have tons of complicated, detailed questions.

What you REALLY need to do is this: search the internet for Mass. Family Law. Read and read and read. Look for attorneys in the yellow pages that offer free initial consultations, prepare a list of questions, and go learn more.

I can assure you of one thing: that you are asking for FAR too much right away -- a 3-year marriage is NOT going to result in spousal support/alimony.
