How will a divorce affect me financially?
I've been married almost 5 years, but I'm not sure if me and my husband will stay together. I want us to go to therapy for a while and then decide.
My question is, if we do divorce, I'm worried how I'm going to support myself. I'm disabled and my disability check is only $220 a month. Will I get SSDI (supplemental income)? If so, will they give me enough to live in a small apartment and enough for food, etc? I expect to live poorly, but I just want to know if I'll at least get enough money to put a roof over my head, pay bills, and afford groceries. I don't think I would try to get spousal support (unless social security gives me so little that I'm very desperate). But I'd really rather not ask that of my husband.
I live in Louisiana. Does anyone have an idea how much money I'd get (even a ballpark amount)?
Thanks
