Re: married

If she is financially dependent upon him, after ten years of marriage, the law says she is ehtitled to permanent spousal support. He is required to pay child support to her for the dependent children living with her until they complete high school and, if they attend college full time, until they complete four years of college. She is entitled to one half of of all assets acquired during the marriage.
