Re: child support but married

Two available options are to consult an attorney about filing a divorce or a separate support action with a motion to require your husband to pay all or part of the fees and or explore your eligibilty to do so in forma pauperis where you ask that filing fees be waived if you can file an accompanying affidavit of indigency. Good luck.
