Bills affect both your credit.

You have a few options here.

1. If the bills are in her name. Leave them be and do not open any of her mail. Her Responsibility
2. If the bills are in both your names. a) Inform her that she is responsible to continue to pay 50% of the bills.
3. If your prior agreement was for her to pay 100% of the bills and the bill payments came from that recently closed bank account. Then it is her responsibility to update the companies where the payments are coming from.

4. Contact your lawyer. State the facts. But make sure you add in that wife has abandoned home , children. Proof is in the fact that she no longer lives there, pays any bills nor pays for any food for the children. Ask what your legally required to do in this situation. ( Make sure you research all this ahead of time so you know the answers ) You may be surprised here that the wife will have to pay up and give a lump sum to carry you over. It is also funny how people are after a lawyer contacts another lawyer and mentions this proof of abandonment and that lawyer contacts their client and explains it to them... Then magically money starts to flow again.

5. Cave in and let her have her way.

So your wife is looking at having services shut off that affect you and your 2 year old son. Knowing full well that you have zero income generation and is hoping to starve you of your money for a lawyer that is helping you with the legalities of your divorce. All in a temper over the fact she is not getting her way 100% of the time and your happy she offered you a cookie...

That my friend is taking crumbs.
