Absolutely. In fact, if your husband had simply moved out, and neither of you had filed for a legal separation or divorce, you could still file for child support. The sooner you file the child support papers, the sooner you can start getting the money your children need.
In many cases, it really helps to have an experienced attorney on your side. You may well have rights that you aren't aware of, and there isn't any way to go into any detail on that here because all of the facts of your case can be important. So I'd recommend looking for a qualified divorce lawyer, and one place to start is our website, http://attorneypages.com
