They don't file either because it's too much work when you're in Fantasyland, or because it benefits them financially nt to do so.

. I do wonder if I will now have to remind H to deposit his half of the rent into the joint account on time, so that there is always money there when rent is automatically deducted. Seems like something else I will be responsible for keeping track of.
Can you call the landlord and have them start deducting your half from your account and his half from his? Or are you worried he would stop paying?
Re: the savings - roughly how much money are we talking about here? It does concern me that hes not being forthcoming with the paperwork and won't let you see the account. Odds are fairly good that he's spent it, or done something else with it. If it's likely to be a substantial sum, you may need to file just to protect your financial interests. If we're talking about $5,000 it may not be worth it, but if we're talking about $200,000 I would never leave that in the hands of an MLCer. Sometimes filing for divorce isn't about not standing but is just about protecting your financial future - you can do both.
