Stay at Home Moms and Divorce
If you are a Stay At Home Mom and thinking of getting a divorce, or have been served with divorce papers, you need to know what your rights are.
You need to know that the courts will recognize your contribution as the caregiver for the children.
As a stay at home mom, while the divorce is in process you may be eligible for temporary child support and temporary spousal support.
Most likely your spouse will be required to pay some or most of your attorney fees.
Here are some other things you should know or do:
- Keep a log (diary) of your daily and weekly caregiving duties with the children.
- Determine what the monthly expenses are, including, the mortgage, utilities, car expenses
- Determine how much support and money you will need after the divorce.
- Open up your own bank account
- Get a copy of the important financial documents
