Question

I am married to an active Duty Air Force serviceman. He filed and I have responded. My court date is March 5th. He has not paid any alimony or child support for the 3 months we have been separated. Can you please tell me what happens, what should I expect and do by and on March 5th.



Answer

What is your court date set for? I assume in your responding papers you asked for support. If you did then the court will review his income, the number of children you have together and how much time each party has with the children. The court ill than run the numbers on a computer program called dissomaster and come up with a number for child support. The issue of spousal support in based on a list of things the court must consider from the Family Code in order to award a spousal support amount and for what period of time, depending on the length of the marriage. If you can retain an attorney, it would be in your best interest. The attorney can request to continue the hearing which would give you time to prepare properly.
