Can the court award spousal support if the parties are not living separately?
Full Question:
My hubby and I live in West Virginia. He is a short-tempered guy. Sometimes he gives money for my needs and sometimes not. I’m not sure about his support. If I move to court, will the court award spousal support even if we are not living separately from each other?

Answer:
“***
(c) An award of spousal support cannot be ordered unless the parties are actually living separate and apart from each other.”
Since you and your husband are not actually living separate and apart from each other, the court cannot award spousal support.
