I have three kids and separated from my husband (married 16 years) five months ago. After a few weeks he left to an extended stay hotel and let us return to the home. His drinking, crazy anger outbursts, and police in our home led to the separation. After awhile the hotel became too expensive for us. He is now staying with a friend. Since separated he's been evicted from a room for rent at a mobile home park, probably due to an arrest a few weeks ago for illegal concealed carry in LA, wrecked his car with no collision, and now no transportation, and had all his belongings stolen.
The concern I have is he hasn't worked in over 10 years due to chronic back pain. He receives Social Security Disability close to $1600 month. I make 64k a year and get $783 for the kids from disability. I have filed for divorce and want to settle out of court, but he is telling me he needs monthly support. He doesn't make three times the rent to qualify at apartments. Yet my income has to pay for our house and raising three boys. I won't ask for child support as I already receive the disability.
I really do want him in a decent living situation as he's the father of my kids, even though two don't want to see him after the events before the separation.
What are my financial obligations to him at this point? And what are the chances I'll pay support to him? And being disabled, would that make it forever?
