Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

divorce and alimony

married 22 years. I have been the bread winner for approximately 80% of the marriage. Husband will not work in a job outside of his field. Says he will take me for everything I have if we divorce. He is able to work but chooses not to work in any job not within his field. He says everything in our relationship is my fault. I am always the one responsible for all of our problems according to him. We have been having relationship problems for a while. I am now in counseling due to stress in my marriage and in my life. He says he will use this against me. He refuses to see a counselor and says I am telling mine all lies. Just want to know what I can expect about alimony and any other information would be greatly appreciated!

Re: divorce and alimony

You obviously need to sit down and have a consultation with an experienced domestic relations attorney. Do not let your husband intimidate you any further. Get good legal advice and protect yourself. If you do not already have an attorney, you may call me for a consultation. I have been practicing thirty years and I have handled hundreds of divorces.
