Spousal Support and Alimony: Divorce: Getting Alimony from Abusive Ex (Domestic Violence)

vendredi 20 février 2015

My question involves a marriage in the state of: New Jersey



I am in the process of divorcing my husband. I left him at the end of 2013 because he was dangerous. He was arrested. I was bruised up. I filed one restraining order, dropped it, and then filed another soon after. I have a final restraining order and we have a child together.



When we separated I still lived in the apartment but didnt pay rent and kicked me out. I was forced to move out and now live with my parents while getting my finances in order. I asked for help with security deposit, first, and last months rent so i can move out and me and my son have our own home.



We just had an ESP and are both Pro Se. The lawyer told me the judge will more likely grant me alimony for a certain period of time then award money for an apartment, although by law I should still be living in the apartment and my ex paying.



I am afraid of getting alimony because my ex threatened me that when I am financially secure he will come after me for alimony to support him. My question is: since there is a history of domestic violence (physical and verbal, has been arrested, has violated the final restraining order) should I not worry myself that I might have to pay him alimony one day if I get alimony for a period of time.



I left him after 10 months of marriage and with the divorce pending it is almost 2 years that we are technically married. Also important to note he is a temporary resident and working for cash and hiding his income so he is not paying what he is suppose to for child support. So I am worried he will try and take my money for himself to use when I am stable financially, although he cant be bothered to pay the right amount of child support and the fact that he destroyed the marriage and that it was filed under extreme cruelty. Please let me know what you think.
