The only way I know of is to obtain a legal separation and all of the financial issues will be listed in the court docs.

I called a few lawyers about a year ago, and in order to do this, each wanted $5,000 upfront, and then it was $250/hour!!

All we have is the house, our cars, and the kids!

Go figure.

It is a difficult decision.

Is your home in both of your names? Is it a community property state? He cannot do anything (if it is) without your written authorization and vice versa.

The other thing is to have someone buy out his portion of the house and of course, you and the kids would be able to stay in the house.

It's a mess, I know.
