What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
The spousal support calculation doesn’t consider child support for adult children even if they are in college, but the Federal Student Aid expects family contribution (EPC).
My soon to be ex is going to get 50% of the property, 50% of my 401k and plus spousal support for himself, and left 50% for me to share with two kids (18 and 16) almost without child support from him (less than two years of support for the youngest one). He got mad with the teenagers and refused to contribute any money for the kids’ college education from the settlement. Can I ask the court to make him to pay some of the settlement money for college cost? Many private colleges are expecting noncustodial parent financial contribution.
I have been killing myself to work two jobs to support the family since he quitted his job 9 years ago. I stressed out from my primary job and applied for a less pay and a little less stress job hoping this would motivated him to look for a job or apply for SS to help out. Well, things happened. He filed for divorce.
Can the legal system allow him to continue enslaving me to continue to work two jobs to support him instead supporting my “adult” kids to college? I am only working on one job right now because my health problem. Do I have to pay spousal support based on last year’s two jobs? If I get better and able to get back to the second job, can he ask for adjustment of spousal support? I have to tap in the equity line to pay bill right now. I am afraid the system might make me losing my house.
I got 3% increase in my hourly rate after he filed for divorce. Is the spousal support based on my income at the time he filed for divorce or at the time the divorce is final?
Please help! Any advice and/or suggestion are appreciated. I don’t know what I did end up in this mess. “No good deed goes without punished”. How can I get out this mess and have my life back?!
