I realize that I had posted with ambiguity to which you responded @divine1966. I did not mean to say that @jesyka's husband would be ordered to maintain @jesyka such that her current standard of living does not fall. But in California with tenure of the marriage that long, with no skill set or education and the fact that Jesyka is not young, he will be ordered to pay some spousal support, likely for life. If it supplemented with SSI and some public benefits (I do not know if Jesyka will qualify for free but at least for discounted health insurance she is likely to qualify) and renting a room, not an apartment, maybe it is possible to live on that money. At present, Jesyka does not have health insurance because her husband is against doctors and having health insurance. It is scary to be in one's fifties without health insurance. And what about later years?
