No Savings and need advice with Allimony & Child Support

I've been married for 11 years and through out my marriage my husband has been a computer junky. This also means porn sites and the computer is in my daughters room. I could not take this anymore and asked him to leave. I have on-going chronic illnesses and my emotional health plays a big factor with flair-ups of physical pain. How can I obtain allimony and child support before we get divorced? And, what information do I need? I've sent 10 months of 2003 unemployed and I've only been working for 2 months and I do not have any savings.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Re: No Savings and need advice with Allimony & Child Support

If you haven't filed for divorce yet you can go to Fam Court and petition for child support. If you have started divorce proceedings, you can request alimony/ch supp "pendente lite" which just means you are requesting the $$ now, pending the outcome of divorce. Since you have no funds, try contacting a legal services org in your area for assistance. Good Luck.
