hi! to everybody, its been a long time i haven't on this forum, I just have a question who ever can answer me, regarding spousal support.
Details:
I did finished school as a pharmacy assistant last 2010, I worked for 6 months, I got laid off and cant find any job for 6 months. So i decided to go back to school again and finished just this March. And now Im recieving financial assisstant. I had my first payment this April for $600 a month. I am in the process of asking a spousal support. We are on shared custody agreement of son. I move out this Jan'12. rent is $950 my family is helping me pay the diff. on my rent. And what ever expenses I have till I get on my feet and find a better job. My ex-common law income is $35,000, according to spousal support guidelines I am entitle to get child and spousal support. But my ex-common law lawyer argue that they will not give any spousal support, child support they will. child support is $299 and spousall support is $7 to 8 hundred a month and they will retro pay me from Jan till present. Their argument is, if i really want to get a job, I will, even on sales or minimum pay. They said I am not entitle because I have 2 degree in college. It is impossible for me not to find a job. And hear this, they want to base my income as I worked minimum pay, and that is $24,000 and the diff. is $10,000, and they will base my spousal support on $24,000 income. Is it really true that if you have 2 degree in college, you are not entitle for spousal support. Is the judge will go by the rules or they will acknowledge what ever they are disputing. Our case conference is coming this week. And my lawyer said it depends on the judge, they might consider it or they will allow them to pay a spousal support according to the calculation.
I need some answer so I know what to expect on our court date.
Sorry its a long message but I hope somebody will try to read this.
Thank you
