Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

support through school?

10 years married, 3 kids, hubby

decided he doesn't want to be

married anymore. I had a great

paying job but with his complete

support I left for a teacher's asst. job

with school system so I could be with

the kids during holidays and

summers. This was BEFORE he

dropped the bomb. Now he is telling

me I have to get a better paying job

so we can get a divorce. I have the

option to go back to school for 1.5

years and get certified to teach. This

would be best for me & the kids

should I end up a single mom. Can I

force him to support me through this

since the divorce is his choice? If he

had told me his feelings before I

changed jobs - I feel at least I would

be able to support myself. Now I am

faced with an unwanted divorce and

to get another job - all because he

wants out. If it matters any - I

believe he is having an affair. He

denies it but my gut says he is. Any

advice?

Get a lawyer immediately. You have potential alimony claims, as well as child support and property issues that are far too complex to analyze without a lengthy and detailed consultation. Do not make any decisions without legal advice.

There are several issues involved. You should not attempt to resolve these by yourself without at least consulting with a local attorney. There is too much at stake and you could easily not follow proper legal procedures.
