Answered by attorney Robert Edward McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Very, very rarely. Judge may ask but never a party. Sometimes when he child is age 16 or more the Judge will want to hear from them but below age 16 child testimony is rare in a divorce case.

Am I still entitled to my husband’s paychecks even though we are physically separated?

Answered by attorney David Ari Goldberg
Divorce lawyer at The Goldberg Legal Group
Since you have separated, his paychecks are considered to be his separate property as your paychecks are your separate property. The fact that a divorce has not been finalized does not grant you the right to his paychecks. Depending on his and your respective incomes, you may be entitled to receive support or may end up paying support.
