Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Divorce
My husband is an alcoholic ( he denies it) and he is often mentally abusive. We have been married 21 years and he has been drinking for the past 10-11 years. We own our home together. I stayed home and raised HIS son from the time he was 2 years old. He is now 26. I don't work and I want to file for a divorce. My husband said I would not get the house unless I buy him out. I'm 57 years old and have no place to go. What are my rights??

You should consult with an attorney in private to discuss your rights to equitable distribution and maintenance.
