Does my husband have any rights over my earnings or savings?
Question Details:
I have been working for 2 years and my husband never worked. We have been married for 3-and-half-years by now. I moved near to my work as it is difficult to commute and I do travel 3-4 times in a week to my husband's place though we are in same state. He has been living with his parents ever since. I do give money to his family to meet household expenses and I can't give to both him and his family. We have no kids and now he demands my money, my earnings and savings. He says that since he is entitled to all of this. Is there any law as such?
Employment and Labor Law Answers
No, there is no such law and he has no such rights; he's either making this up or he's very seriously misinformed. If he wants to force you to give him money, he'll have to file for divorce (unless you get fed up with his attitude, and file yourself). Until then, he'll have to ask his parents for some of what you give them.
Alimony decisions are based in part on the length of the marriage. For a marriage of less than five years, especially if your husband can live with his parents, it's likely to be minimal, and only for a few years, if at all. The longer you stay together, the more you'd have to pay.
