No one here can or will calculate the exact numbers for you.
If you wonder, google a child support calculator for your state and input all the numbers and find out an estimate.

That's a question only a local attorney familiar with the local judges and courts can answer with any authority. The only valid answer you can get over the internet is "maybe." Definitely ASK for it in your filings -- you get nothing if you don't ask for it.

Again, those are questions for a local attorney.
As far as your health insurance coverage goes, that is mostly dependent upon your insurance company. They may allow a divorced man to keep his X-wife on his coverage, but most do not.

You REALLY NEED a local family law attorney. Good luck to you. :)

What kind of income does he have? Is it sufficient to provide all you are asking for and housing and life for himself as well? When one divorces, their income does not double so as to provide totally for two households.

Try running the CS calculations based on his income, then add the cost of the housi8ng you are asking him to provide. Then the health care (which will cost significantly more for a non-spouse), and children's health care. Running the numbers may give you a sense of whether your request is even do-able. Remember, you need to allow for HIS housing and transportations costs as well- as there will now be TWO households.

Helped her FINANCIALLY? Can you prove it?

BTW- I've been in real estate for over twenty years, and many, many women buy houses WITHOUT need of financial help.

He also open up a buiness with his girl friend and help her buy a house .
Sweetheart if you get sick so easy now, why do you even want the responsibility of a house and all of the care and maintenance that it requires? Perhaps a condo/townhouse might be a better alternative.
