I have been basically backed into a corner by H's refusal to cover what he agreed to. These things (car and cell) are in MY name; I'm trying to protect my credit so that I can provide for my kids. His attitude when something is due is "oh well" if he doesn't have the money. Yet, he always has the money when it's time to pay his hockey league dues.

He has taken 4 "commission only" jobs over the last 2 years; he doesn't even bother to look for sales jobs that at least have a draw so that he gets some sort of income. He basically stopped his home remodeling business each time to take these jobs. He will waste months with no commission before moving on to the next one. However, there's always that big sale pending...none have ever happened. He has now walked out. If I pick up the car payment and cell payment while he's on his 5th "commission only" job I won't be able to pay the property taxes on my home. His cell phone bill averages between $250-$300/mo., and the truck payment is over $600. I don't have extra cash laying around to cover it. Is it fair to risk my kids being without a home to provide free transportation/cell phone service to someone who's capable of getting a paying job?
