Can I get alimony and sole custody of our children if I divorce my husband?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
You have provided insufficient information upon which to make even a determination. Custody and spousal support are determined in Michigan based on a number of factors. The fact that your husband has been unfaithful may be germane but that alone will not be determinative. You clearly need to engage in attorney to assist you in ending this tragedy.

What are my rights as a woman and mother, that has been cohabiting for 18 years?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Anita Alice Webster (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Webster & Associates
It all depends on the facts of your case. For example, how were titles held, what contributions you made towards the purchase of items, or if you held yourselves out as married and filed joint returns, etc. As a mother, you and your ex would need to agree on custody of the minor children or the court would have to decide and award child support accordingly. You are best off consulting with an attorney to find out your rights. This response is intended to provide general information only and is not a substitute for speaking to an attorney. This response does not create an attorney client relationship between the Anita Webster, Esq. or Webster & Associates and the readers.

If my husband pulled money out of his savings plan at work and bought us a house i have no rights to it?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It depends on when he bought the house. If he bought the home before you were married, the house is is separate property except for any money you paid into purchasing the home, making mortgage payments, or improvements to the property. If he bought the home after you were married, the house is your community property and you are a 50% owner of the home without regard to where the money to purchase the home came from. There are some exceptions to these general rules, but that's the basic idea.
