Questions about Divorce

I am considering divorce after 13 years and 4 children. I am a stay at home Mom and have been for the extent of our marriage- Can he get full custody of our kids because I have not contributed financially? Also 6 years ago his mother passed and left an inheritance to him which we purchased our home with(both names on deed). Do I have rights to the home? He also has 2 other properties in which I am not named due to my credit history, the only way he could be approved for the loan was if I signed a paper, did I sign my rights away? Finally, I have a friend that is a lesbian, and he feels that it is morally inappropriate for our children to be subjected to her. This is a difference in opinion for me and my husband, but he said that will be the ''win'' because I allow my kids to be around her. Is this true?

Re: Questions about Divorce

First, not providing financially does not mean you did not provide. You provided another thing for the community. Regardless, this has no bearing on custody issues per se, other than to argue you were primary caretaker as one of the factors as to why the children might be with you more often.

Inheritance has its issues before. You will want to sit down with an experienced lawyer who can educate you on all of the issues surrounding the division of assets, debts, custody, spousal maintenance and otherwise.
