I have had visitation with my three grands since 2001 every month sometimes twice a month until last month. My drama queen daughter Janet has stopped this now. Any attorneys open for advice or available to help a grandmother on disability to get these children back into the life they were used too.

i have paid all her living expenses for last year too. she is waiting disability

This is both for financial and legal reasons. I live in Northern NJ and have two children and the wife suffers from MS and severe depression. The wife’s behavior is irrational with some glimpes of sanity {she is off all her meds}. What can I do to secure the safety and welfare of my children? Has anyone gone through this? In all of this the wife is on disability and I work a 50 hour work week, without my parents help I would not be able to pay the mortgage.
Thanks for the great answers so far. Roy Boy you are right, but she refuses to leave the home and my attorney advises me to also remain in the home. I have her doctors on speed dial and certain neighborhood "angels" keep an eye on things while I am at work. I have figured our finances and unfortunatley a split means we both live close to the poverty line and the children further suffer.

Believe it or not, it is good to know that some of you know what it is like because I feel so alone in this. The guilt of leaving my disabled wife is unbearable, but I see no other option.
Abigail, you have not walked in my shoes. I have been with her for almost twenty years and have been in marriage counseling for ten. It is not for want of trying, she wanted the divorce. I have been physically and mentally abused by her and she recently harmed my son in a public place. Again you have no idea, people who have a disabliity are not all angels.

When I refer to her as the wife, it is what she currently is. Look within yourself on why you are taking it so personal.

My lawyer states I can expect nothing more than the base guidelines for child support and alimony. I will never work, my youngest child, 8 years old is severally mentally disabled, married 16 years, ex to be income 0,000, my income on SS 20,000, plus childrens SS disability 10,000.

My ex threatened to go on permanent disability in order to stop alimony payments.
I know he is not ill but he is a great actor.
If he somehow convinces a physician can i collect his disability?

my husband thinks he will get everything in our divorce after he cheated and had a child with my sister and i don’t have the money for divorce attorney because i’m on disability
also he moved out of our house which we are buying on a rent to own basis and the day after he started selling things{motorcycle,camper etc} and I didn’t get any money from it..then 9 months later he said he had no place to live so I agreeed to move out and give him the house if he would give me a divorce settlement of 1000 so I could pay rent for a few months under the agreement also that our daughter who is in college would have her room until she graduated but he never gave me the 1000 and the day after he moved in he moved his girlfriend, who just got out of prison for drugs and armed robbery, and her 3 kids into the house and the kids got my daughters room and she had to move in with her ex boyfriend. this then left me home less and he hasn’t given me a penny since then and my only income is my ssi. he will not give me any of my things and continues to sell things and he is remodeling the house. his girlfriend calls it their house and yes this really burns me.

I have a friend whose english is not too good. When she got married, she may have signed a prenuptial agreement though her then-soon to be husband did not explain to her what she was signing. Almost five years since, he is harassing her, threatening her, and telling her that if she is not happy, to leave. She wants a divorce but is currently on disability after wrenching her body at work so is very low on money. Is her husband legally liable to settle any funds on her?

I have been married 7 years and my husband is a horrible person who abuses me mentally and physically. We have two kids and I am on disability. He never wanted me to work because he wanted me home with our kids. I am done and I don’t know what to do. Legally If I divorce him will he owe me alimony? He kicked me out of our house and took the kids because he makes good money. Please help!

Let us say either physical or mental disabled. Let us also say they are capable of caring for their children. Do you think the non-disabled spouse would use the disability label against the other spouse and win custody? Can they do that?

I’m not going through this. I’m just curious. Thanks.

He said to my wife. Mrs. H***z How do you expect your husband to live.We still owe on the house. But where I am on comp. The state wont touch me just her. She works and I do not. They do not like to mess with the feds. I was with the F.B.I.
