Re: husband's obligations during separation
The husband's obligations are usually defined in one of two ways. Either there is a formal agreement between the parties, or the non-bread winner usually goes to court to get an order setting a support obligation. The precise amounts depend on a number of factors, some of which can be quite complicated.
This is one of the areas in which it is highly advisable to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney - so that you can be sure that your case is presented to insure you don't lose out on support that should be coming to you.
