This is one of the great mysteries. Will was only 18, with no particular training. They probably lived on the cheap, as young marrieds do, and they both made money whatever way they could (although notwithstanding the romantic rumour to the contrary, there is no reason to think they broke the law or propriety doing so). Although we have no records to say what exactly Shakespeare was doing at this time, it cannot have been very successful because he did move to London to look for better prospects.
None. Shakespeare was only 16 years old in 1580 and living with his family in Stratford.
William Shakespeare's houseWilliam Shakespeare did not live in Stratford (a district of London, England), he actually lived in Stratford-Upon-Avon, which is in Warwickshire.In 1597, Shakespeare purchasedNew Place, the second largest house in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The building no longer exists. However, John Shakespeare's house still exists and is said to be the birthplace of William.
Stratford, then London, then Stratford. In his early married life, when his children were born, he must have been living in Stratford still, but at some point, we do not exactly know when, he moved to London to be an actor and only visited Stratford occasionally. After he retired, only a few years before his death, he returned to Stratford again.
Shakespeare's life can be divided by where he lived: in Stratford (1564-1585), in London (1590-1613) and back in Stratford (1613-1616). The period between 1585 and 1590 or so is called the "Lost Years" because we have no idea where he was living.
He lived in London while his wife and family lived in Stratford. Presumably he came and visited them from time to time. After about 25 years of this, he retired back to Stratford and moved in with his wife again.
Yes, he was living back at Stratford with his family, when he died.
None. Shakespeare was only 16 years old in 1580 and living with his family in Stratford.
We don't know, since it is not recorded. Shakespeare was 18 years old at the time, and living in Stratford. He may have been unemployed.
We don't know for certain, but he probably couldn't get the job he wanted in Stratford.
We do not have much information to go by in order to answer this question. The fact that Shakespeare spent two decades living in London while his wife and children lived in Stratford must have meant that his contact with his family was sporadic at best.

You don't. Although Shakespeare spent much of his life living in London while his wife lived and worked in Stratford, this arrangement probably had more to do with economic necessity than marital turbulence. When Shakespeare retired, he retired to the home in Stratford which he had bought with his earnings as an actor and playwright to live out the rest of his life with his wife. She and their daughters paid for the monument to William in Stratford Church where Anne and William are buried side by side. None of this sounds like their marriage was unhappy. They just didn't get to see each other much.
