What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
I am contemplating my options and would appreciate some advice on what I can expect if I divorce. I am in my mid 50's and in poor health. I don't have recent work experience that would qualify me for SSDI, but I am not able to work. Without my husband's insurance, I would be uninsurable.
Our problems began a few years ago when our daughter became addicted to heroin. This has devastated our family financially. She and her friends have stolen checks and forged my name to them, totaled my car, stolen and run up our credit cards, and left us with huge legal bills to keep her from going to prison.
I recently discovered my jewelry missing. I tried to discuss going to the police about the theft, and he threatened to throw me out if I do that. I just found a bank statement showing he is transferring funds to her account daily (yet again). Anything to keep her from prostituting herself. Our once healthy retirement fund is a fraction of what it was, and he continues to bleed it down, dissipating our assets. He has basically squandered away close to 6 figures. His enabling behavior is killing both our marriage and our daughter. He refuses marriage counseling and any attempt to discuss the problem results in denial of how bad things are. He doesn't want to talk about it.
His income is around $150k. Given that and my health issues, what kind of alimony could I expect?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
