What is the name of your state? Florida
After the children became adults and left the home for studies, my husband for more than 30 years of our marriage and father of all our children stopped providing me financial support. All these years, I spent my time taking care of the children and husband, preparing food and taking care of home, growing vegetables in back yard. After the children left a year ago, he pays the bills for electricity, water, groceries for the home but did not give me any money to even buy my new cloths. I do not even have a car to drive and I do not have driver license also, and I have no skills. I talked to a friend who advises that there are some laws, Section 61.09 of Florida but I am unsure. Is there any way, I can legally get financial support form my husband. I do not want my marriage to fail or get divorce/separation.
