My jurisdiction is: Virginia
Have been married since 2000 and currently separated (4 years). I left the family home out of fear of a dangerous environment (shady characters hanging around) for me and my son. I was given physical custody of my child but we have dual custody. I am heading to see an attorney as soon as my finances improve shortly.
Husband has been incarcerated the past 3 years on dealing narcotics charges and will be released this summer. I have a feeling he will have his family support him and never hold down a real job. They live in the state of New York. Most likely claim no one will give him a job because of being an ex-con. Can I expect any support from him for my child and myself? Would I also be able to receive any back-support? His parents have been sending me a $200 check to assist, but that's not nearly what I need. My earning are very low and I really need the assistance. What is the most likely outcome and can the state make him find a job? I am getting desperate.
