Legal Question in Family Law in New York
withholding of sex for 9 years
I have been married for 16 yrs. The last 9, my husband refused to sleep with me. He sleeps downstairs, I am up. I have an 11 yr.old son. I am also disabled for a number of yrs., but do manage to get around without help. Financially, it is hard for me to leave. I need the med. insurance too. If I were to meet someone while married, would a judge give custody to husband? Would he be inclinded to agree with me? Husband is also emotionally and verbally abusive to both of us. Thank you.

Re: withholding of sex for 9 years
You will not lose custody simply because you have a relationship with someone else.
If you decide to divorce, you should be aware that depending on your respective finances, your husband could be required to pay for some, or all, of your attorney's fees.
If you should decide to move forward with the divorce, please feel free to contact my office.

Your husband has constructively abandoned you which gives rise to your cause of action for divorce. Custody would be decided on the best interest of the children.
Please feel free to contact me.
