Hello,
Your question as to whether he's required to pay you spousal support is dependent on a number of variables. For example, do you work? Did you work during the marriage? Did you give up a job to take care of the kids? Do you "need" the money? Can he afford to pay you? Were you "free from fault" in the breakup of the marriage?
This is the analysis the court will engage in when determining final spousal support. Since you've already been separated for 11 months, I assume you are aiming for a 103 divorce rather than a 102 divorce so "Interim" support would be a moot point.
To help you with the questions above, you can call The Civil Law Center, LLC and set up a consultation at 504-342-4221.
