Can i get child support and spousal support after being married for 6 years ?

Asked over 2 years ago - Jacksonville, FL

My husband is cheating on me. He is in the navy (in Italy right now). We have been married for 6 years and i cant take him cheating and abusing me mentally anymore. He is always falling in love with these GIRL!!! I have pictures from his facebook page him with his current GIRLFRIEND!!! I have Proof that he is cheating all these years. We have 1 son together my other son is not his but has been on his page since he was 2. I have not worked since 2007. Will I be able to get spousal support being married for 6 years? I need a GOOD LAWYER!!!

Additional information
So how long do a person has too be married before they are entitled to spousal support?? I know at 10 years a wife gets half a his retirement. I would think at 6 I should get something... Since I haven't been working since 2007 and he is paying alllll my bills! I really don't understand.

Spousal support may be a stretch since you have not been married for a longer duration of time. However, all is not lost, you can always ask for it. Child support is a yes. AS to the child who is not his, maybe not. Call my office for a free consultation.
