Legal Question in Family Law in New York

spousal maintenance

I left my husband in Sept of 2008 because he was lying to me, he bought a motorcycle without consulting me about it (not to mention we couldn't afford it) and he threatened to hit me twice. I haven't filed for a divorce or a legal separation because I couldn't afford it. The year is almost up since I left him, if he files for divorce based on abandonment, will I be awarded spousal support if I request it?

Re: spousal maintenance

If you qualify for support, you should get it. But remember, you must request it. I strongly suggest you retain an attorney to help protect your rights if/when the time comes.
