Quote: Seems H should still be contributing (i.e. mututal account) until you get a legal agreement.
Matilda, I guess I should have been more clear on that statement. H and I split all of the existing bank accounts. On our joing checking account (Which he still has access to, but has been good about not interferring with), we had it set up to automatically pay the mortgage payment, my car payment, and daily newspaper etc. each month. I finally got all the info (and motivation) I needed to move the newspaper and automatic mortgage payment deduction over to my own, single account.
I just have one more thing - my car payment to move to my bank account on auto deduction. I still don't have all the info I need in order to do it. I eventually need to close our former joint account. (Damn....I had just ordered the economy pack of 600 checks, too)!
H has sent me a check for Child and spousal support for each of the past 2 months. It isn't as much as I would get if I would finally finish the darn financials, as that would prove I need more. Our joint account only has about enough money left in it to make one more house payment and one more car payment. Once I get all the automatic payment accounts switched over, I will close that account.
