There is no rule that you do not get alimony or child support while living in the house. In fact, child support will have to be calculated, no matter where you live. You absolutely can get a portion of his pension. What portion of the pension is distributed to you depends on how long you have been married and how you divide other assets.
Attorney macdonald is absolutely correct. You are entitled to child support as the custodial guardian. Most divorces with such issues can be heavily negotiated for settlement. Few need to be decided by a court. Hire experienced counsel and do not listen to friends and non-attorneys who will give you misinformation.
