Questions

Dear resqubear:

Greetings. Even if you want reconciliation, you cannot get this alone. Your failure to take care of yourself financially though, even if this is through alimony, will ont help you with reconciliation. My advice, speak with an attorney immediately, before it is too late. Thank you.

I have been separated from my husband for 3 months (he left the marital house) and am starting to struggle financially. I am wondering if I should try to get spousal support or not. I am hoping for reconcilation, but want to protect and educate myself. Not sure if intercourse is a factor but we hadn’t ‘been together’ since the end of November last year. He did say that he would help support me until the end of my semester in school, he has not, other than paying the rent the first month he left. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
