don't discount the possibility that he'll have to pay RETROACTIVELY if you get into arrearages or debt for things like,ummmmm FOOD and electricity!!??
Backlogged??!! You are not the first mother with small children who needs money for food but has a jerk for a husband. Call social services, call your L and tell him/her to hurry it all up. There are emergency types of motions and the courts "frown" upon dads who leave and forget to pay for their children and then, in effect, fob it off onto the state and the taxpayers, like the rest of us. I'm in disbelief that you cannot access/obtain some type of Money now, or withdraw a large enough amount and as long as you use it for the family expenses (keep track) I am unaware of any legal argument that says a custodial mother is wrong to feed her kids with marital assets if the husband is unwilling/unable to do so....Not giving legal advice, but reminding you that you are giving him Way too much power over you and your children.
In short, if he won't feed the kids, then YOU have to. Don't wait around for him to suddenly "get it" while your kids live in squalor wearing hand me downs and eating mac -n-cheese, all so HE can dine out with OW......please..... j-
