No property together. I retired prior to us getting married. I'm not employed and she wants spousal support and my retirement. We have been living apart for the past 3-4 years. We were married in Las Vegas(where I live) and she lives in Ohio. Is she entitled?

She should not be entitled to your retirement as it was earned prior to your marriage. However, the income you receive from the retirement monthly may be used to calculate your total income in order to calculate spousal support amount.
prior to obtaining a child support court order. My daughter is now an adult. Can I reopen case and receive back child support?
