IF SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT WORK BUT HAS INCOME FROM SOCIAL SECURTIY DISABLITY AND FROM A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SETTLEMENT (NOT TAXED), FILES FOR DIVORCE, DOES THAT PERSON HAVE TO PAY THE SPOUSE ANYTHING? (OH, AND THE PERSON FILING FOR DIVORCE HAS AN EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE). DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ASK.
Please use lower case in future.. Thanks.
