If I supported my spouse so he could go back to school and he deserted me when he acquired a job, can I ask for reimbursement in the divorce?
From what you have written with respect to the finances that you incurred in paying for your spouse's education and now he has filed for a martial dissolution, there is nothing under the laws of all states in this country preventing you from claiming reimbursement of monies that you incurred for his education as part of the marital settlement of assets and liabilities.I suggest that you consult further with a family law attorney concerning the issues that you have written about and your desire to be reimbursed for his education. Possibly you can ask for a return of what the education brings him in the future post your dissolution.
