You cannot receive child support from your spouse unless there is a court order to that effect. Generally, there must be a legal separation in order for the court to get involved in child support issues. Legal separation is not available in every jurisdiction.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your legal rights and options.
