What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York.
Hi, I am a bit unsure where to begin but here goes.
Married 12 yrs- together for 20.
I am disabled- on SSD. Husband wants to get a legal separation so I can stay on his health insurance.
It is amicable.
My question is we are just going to separate for now and he says in a year or so get a legal separation. I will find a place for myself and he said he will support me. I am getting advice from so many different people my head is spinning.
Some tell me to go to a mediator now and get this in writing but my husband says we will go later, after a year or so. He said by then we will know if what he is giving me monthly is enough. Is there anyway one can figure an amount out? I want to be fair, and when I even mention going to a lawyer for advice and future financial planning he wiggs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
