Question.. I'm not ready to file papers just yet but has anyone brought their h to court to try and get him to pay at least his fair share of the bill? I am torn between just sucking it up and continuing to have to just barely make ends meet.... or to actually force him to pay his share or at least part of the mortgage. I guess I just still can't wrap my head around how someone can just walk out and away from all their responsibilities!
I am not filing papers - I am not ready and this is not what I want. I will not file papers or will have anymore discussions of filing papers at this point.
Do you have children? I am lucky that my H has agreed to pay child support for our 2 minor children without filing papers yet. He has to remember or you may have to tell him that he is responsible for the bills as well - after all you are still M. Him not paying his part of the bills and you not being able to pay all will hurt both of your credit scores. I had entertained the idea of letting our family home go - but then I woke up - this would distroy both of us financially!
Depending on the state you live in and if you have children you can file for child support - temp seperation papers. Check out the laws in your state.
