I am a stay at home mother of one three-year-old and expecting my second child in August. My husband wants a divorce (which I agree is for the best). However, since I left my career for our first child to become a stay at home mom, I do not have any income and can’t afford an attorney. I was just going to start back to work when my child started pre-school this fall, but my husband convinced me to have another. My husband has said he plans to sell the house (there is no equity), and I will have to live with my mother until I can get financially stable on my own. I am scared that he will get custody of our child and the unborn one since I cannot afford a home, etc. We reside in Florida. Will he have to pay alimony (he says he won’t- we don’t have much money, only his income). Is there anything I can do to get custody of my children? If we get divorced before the birth of our next, what rights does he have to it? I can’t afford to get legal advice and hope that you can help ease my mind and maybe direct me in the right way. I appreciate your help!
