OP. This.

A lot will depend on whether your husband gets an attorney.  If he hires an attorney you will most likely have to pay alimony 5-6 years
and also child support.

Honestly it sounds like it would be worth it for you to get divorced even if you have to sell the house.

My Dad was an alcoholic and also my brother.  Two bottles of wine a night is a lot and it gets worse. Alcoholism is a progressive disease.

As a kid I would have preferred Mom to have gotten divorced even if we lived in an efficiency apartment or a trailer.

If you husband fights for 50% custody alcoholism and smoking will not prevent him from getting the 50% custody  but the reality is it sounds
like your husband is pretty advanced in his alcolism.  I would not stress out if your husband gets the 50% custody because the
reality is you would probably have the kid 95% of the time anyways due to husband being passed out etc.

It sounds like a really bad situation as is. I would not sweat the money.  If it meant I had to sell house and move to a mobile home
or efficiency apartment with the kid I would.

Have you been to any Al Anon meetings?[/quote]
