Married for 25 years and possibly headed for divorce. Our children are grown and now out of the house. I do not have a job or a high school diploma. Husband pays the household bills. He is also a functioning alcoholic and is verbally and emotionally abusive. Has also been "physical"/broken things and damaged property while in his alcoholic rants. What are my chances for any kind of support and for how long will it last if I get it? Also, is it possible to file reason for divorce as "emotional abuse" or "cruelty" or does Texas only use Irreconcilable Differences? I can prove this in court if need be. There are more details to the story but I'm trying to be as brief as possible but get to the point of my questions. Thanks for any advice. Wanting to be prepared (ahead of time) in case I'm served with divorce papers.
