Default Paying Spousal Support

Hi and thank you, Jenny and JLAlex,

I understand what you are saying, but I don't believe he can show he is "needy", especially when he stands to gain in the area of $40,000.00 from his half equity of the home. I may make double what he earns but I pay triple the expenses he pays. As well, how can he prove he is "needy" if he has money left over to waste on gambling and alcohol and drug use, and fails to provide the necessities of life for his children.

Once I buy him out, or we sell the home and I purchase one for myself and daughter to live in, I will not have the "means" to support him and his addictions. This just keeps getting worse by the minute.

I cannot believe there is law that would provide for someone like this. If anything, he should be in jail for failure to provide for his children, not being handed out a monetary award for being a deadbeat freeloader, who is perfectly capable of supporting himself and only seeking spousal support to be vindictive.
