i'm in new jersey, and wondering if after a 14 year marriage, 8 yrs. home with the children what kind of support can i except. hubby still won't talk to me about our problems and i feel i have to prepare to move on for the sake of the children. also if i move out of state to start over will that affect my support.

Whether you receive spousal support can depend on your job skills, education, how long you were in the home without an outside job, what his income is, whether you are disabled, what mood the judge is in.

Unfortunately, there's no way to predict whether you would receive spousal support. However, it doesn't hurt to ask the court to order it.

If you don't ask, you know the answer will be no.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!
