[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He would very possibly get custody because he has been the stay-at-home-parent and therefore the courts would see him as the nurturing parent.  He would support the child with the child support that you would have to pay him.  However, the judge would probably make it clear that BOTH parents should be contributing and order him to get a job, unless your DC is still preschool aged.

[b]My guess is that your DH is depressed by the fact that he has been unable to find a job similar to the one he used to have.  He probably feels worthless and unmanly.  Would he agree to go to counseling and/or taking anti-depressants to see if that helps?

Another option is him getting a part-time job.  It might help him build back up his confidence, and any income from him is better than none.  But it would still allow him to continue to build his "business".  Does this "business" of his bring in any $$ at all?  Even if it doesn't, something that allows him to contribute while not letting go of that dream might be very good for him mentally.[/quote][/b]

Great comments/advice here. Long-term unemployment is rough.[/quote]
