Hi SA -

Could even be his L is advising him to take care of the bills for his kids so he looks better in court.

I may be a cynic...but this is a real possibility. Do you have all of your records to show to the court as to how much H contributed to the household and for the kids since he left? Would be good to bring that along...Walking out on you doesn't absolve him of his financial responsibilities to you and the kids...
