Spousal support from 1st husband after divorcing 2nd husband

Exparte 04/1985 TRO/DV the Judge of the court reserved jurisdiction for Spousal Support (even though I told him all I wanted was Child Support because of the long term physical violence - no police records because husband would lose job) 02/1986 in Judgment MSA. Long Term Marriage. I remarried and am now divorced. I have been disabled for about a year now and it is due to the physical violence and depression that has followed me throughout these years.

I want to ask for Spousal Support due to the above because of these facts and that I am 51 years old and SSI, although application made and denied, requests that I seek all avenues for support while going through the approval process.

My injuries are in my spine which has caused additionally problems to my knees, arms, shoulders because I use these areas of my body to support the problems with my back. I have a cane for any long term walking ...

He is a Captain of the LAPD and has always made a substantial income.

What do I do?
