Question #65

I live in New York state and have been married for five years. The other day my husband just left without telling me and now won’t answer my calls. He was the one with a job I was a stay at home mom of two kids and now have no money to pay the rent. This has to be illegal right can he just leave us with no money or a place to live? I don’t want a divorce or a separation, do I have to consent to a separation agreement? I tried to find NY state divorce and separation laws online, but can’t find the answers? Isn’t abandonment illegal? What can I do? I don’t know where my husband is or why he is doing this or my rights?

Question #71

We live in Suffolk County, NY; I am a single Mom of a 17.5-year-old daughter that is going away to college in Maryland. She was hospitalized for an eating disorder last year for six months and still needs supervision on her food intake and meds. So I am willing to move with her since I have some family there. My stip says that if I relocate outside of NY, without written permission from her dad or the State supreme court approval that I will relinquish my parental right, and she will live with her dad. ( I am assuming child support would also be stopped) I have spoken to several people who have told me since her dad has made no effort to see her since she was hospitalized, nor does my daughter want to spend weekends/time with him and that she will be 18, that the above statement won’t affect us. Would child support stop if we were to move since she is going away to college? My Ex tells her I CAN’T MOVE!! Please let me know if I have to take this to court.
