Child custody and Spousal support question

Asked on Mar 05th, 2014 on Family Law - California
More details to this question:
I was married and we separated after a year of marriage. We have been separated for about a year now and I was served papers by my ex husband. In the papers he is seeking spousal support, and not sure what the guidelines would be since we were only together a year. He is going after equity on a house I purchased before we married, he is seeking my retirement from my job also. I am just wondering if he should be able to ask for all this after a year of marriage. We also have a 2 year old child together and his visitation has be on average 2-3 days a week and the days vary every week based on his work schedule. He now wants 3.5 days a week to make it 50/50. I want him to co parent with me but he works nights and lives with his parents. On the days he has our daughter he sleeps all day due to the father working nights and she spends the day with the grand parents. He deserves to see his daughter but I don't see the point of her not being with me and he sleeps all day then works all night.

You've got several issues, none of which can be fully answered by an email.  Ideally, you hire an attorney.  If you do not have the funds to do that, go to your local county courthouse and see the Family Court Facilitator, who is an attorney and for which there is no fee, and get advice on each of these issues.  One questions with a quick answer: spousal support for a marriage of that duration is for one-half the duration of the marriage, generally.
