What is the name of your state? DC - My husband is ssi disabled (but works and gets money under the table), has filed for divorce after leaving this area 5 years ago to move in with another woman, has returned to DC and wants alimony from me. We have one child and I'd like to know does the fact that his ssi is so little (about $750 a month) and the fact that I make $50,000 a year will weigh in court even though I have been taking care of my child with little or no assistance (ssi gives about $100 a month). Will I really have to pay him? He was so abusive and I've hired a lawyer but I just want to know what you think.
