Can I have him removed from the home? As the main breadwinner, will I have to pay alimony?

Q– Seeking divorce: I am the wife and principal bread winner. Husband is a cocaine addict and I just discovered he is selling drugs from our home. We’ve been estranged, living in separate rooms 5+ years. I’m under cancer care for the last two years. Our child is over 21 but still lives at home. She’s in law school.

A– If you anticipate your Husband disputing that he sells drugs, you’d need proof – thus, pics, videos, admissions caught on audio, etc. Then if he doesn’t agree to move out, you’d need to file a motion for exclusive occupancy. As for spousal maintenance, here’s a calculator to figure out the presumptive amount: https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/divorce/calculator.pdf. That said, you should call a Westchester Divorce attorney to schedule a consult for a full assessment.
