Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I have been married for 20 years. I became disabled from a needle stick as a nurse. My husband says he did not love me when he married me and has had numerous affairs. I can not afford to keep our home, so I will be signing it over to him. We have (1) 15 year old daughter who wants to stay with him, because his house will be in her school district. No clue where mine will be. What would a judge award me in percentages and what can I expect? What I figure is that we will both go borderline poverty level. Right now, he is promising more than he can afford, because he's afraid that he is looking at a fraud case. I am worried about his ability to pay the mortgage, as it will reflect on my credit score, even if I provide a quit claim deed. I do get a small SS disability check each month, and I will be losing my primary insurer. (Private insurance through his work.)I am 56 and he is 44.

Regardless of what you want as an outcome, do not make the horrible mistakes you have said you willl make. Specifically, do NOT sign a deed until your case has been decided by a Court. You HAVE to get a lawyer. You are about to make a myriad of uncorrectable mistakes. With a lawyer, you may be able to protect your insurance benefits, get a share of the home, get support, etc.

Let me repeat, you have a disaster with no lawyer. While a lawyer won't guarantee a great result, he can almost certainly dramatically improve things and will give you advice you badly need.

GET A LAWYER IMMEDIATELY.
