I really didn't know.

I have asked for spousal support.Also I did not answer yes to the questions about the addictions and now I'm wondering should I.. he acts as if he may try to give me a hard time.



It's always a better policy to be 100% truthful on legal papers because what you said yesterday can come back and haunt you tomorrow. If he decides to appear (I mean if he appears legally) and you have not said anything about alcohol abuse or - worse yet - have indicated there is no alcohol abuse involved you cannot suddenly change your mind and make that argument.

Just a heads up.

As far as the people who post and answer - everyone comes from a different place. Some from education, some from employment, some from personal experience. It's a real mix and match but very, very insightful.

Hello anita:

It's a very rare relationship where for 18 or 28 years, ONE party does drugs and drinks heavily, while the other one doesn't. Rarer still, is a party who can do that, and be the sole PROVIDER for his family.

IF that's the case in YOUR relationship, then I would certainly mention it. If, however, that's NOT the case, you're not doing yourself any favors by bringing up HIS stuff and not your own.
