The court has to make you pay.  Don't listen to someone who is leaving you.  Get a lawyer.

Hi chrismarie1511,\nDo you have joint custody? You need to contact a lawyer. Look in the phone book for a lawyer who gives a free consultation in person or over the phone if you cant afford one. Good Luck: Blueladybug

get a lawyer and in the suit ask the judge that your legal fees be paid by her.

depending on what state you live in yes. Is there any chance of working a deal with him out of courts? If he is unwilling/unable to make your relationship work will he split 50/50 and walk away?\nmost states have a website where you can search your situation and you have definatly have some legal grounds since he entered a verbal aggrement to be married to you with no intention of doing so but as to the extent depends on where you are.

I believe that depends upon the state but yes she can because with you being married, whats yours is his.  A court may see it as income that he is receiving from you.

You can divorce him - ask several lawyers for fees. You can require that all communication be directed to you attorney. Let the lawyer know, up front, that you want minimal contact with him. I divorced a woman who left town. I went months without her seeing me or the kids. Years later, we lived next door to one another!

If you have access to the  money..spend it on what you need.  The court is going to give you alimony and child support as well.  He is angry and making an already tense situation worse.  June is very near so you will be free soon.

Go to your local library tell them you need divorce papers. You can then copy the papers and fill them out. The papers at the library tell you what you need to do and where to go. If you have questions on it you can always call an attorney or check it out on the web. Of course you take it the court house pay the fees. If he contest, or decides to make it difficult for you, then get an attorney, if you can't afford one the courts will usually recommend one or head you in the right direction. In most states whoever files has the burden of all costs. In some, they split.

Honestly, you could prob. get the $$ back; but it would cost you, and might not be worth it. Anyway, you could get a lawyer in CA, and have him look into it.\n\nMy step-son had the same headache. It was cheaper for him to let it go and move on.

I don't think you can...it might be a "low cost" but there are always fees to pay the court and if you do use an attorney and you get one from a service that provides "low income assistance" there will still be a charge.  You can do more research at

If you are legally married,you are entitled to half of his possessions, that is if you did not signed a Prenup. You can even get money for the time you have been separated, that is alimomy.Also the court will obligate the person to pay fully the amount owed for child sopport That is, The time that he never paid). It doesnt matter if you have not been together, legally you are his wife .

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Ask your attorney.  Thats what you pay them for

Not unless he adopted your son & that would require your permission. Check with your attorney or Social Security Office, take copy of divorce papers to prove you have joint custody.\nShe hasd no legal right to block your contact from his # & broke the law if collecting double payments.

Hi,\n My friend is going through this same situation. Her husband is currently in prison and she recently filed for a divorce with a lawyer.\n She somehow managed to find a lawyer who charged her by her income level. (I personally never heard of that before) but since she is a stay-at-home mom... she pays next to nothing for this lawyer. (she gets some sort of check in the mail every month though)\n She has 2 young sons and is currently living with her parents and when the layer found out about this, he still only charged her cheap lawyer fees.\n I'm not sure where she found this lawyer but you may want to call the lawyer referrel services in your town ask if they know any lawyers in your area who do the same thing that my friends lawyer does...Good luck to you!

ok my mom and dad are divorced and it all depends on how many children there are if he won't pay you up front you could always get it taken out of his pay check or take his as* to court untill he gets so sick of it......and make sure you get joint-custidy(something like that I can't spell very well) ok

If the medical bills are your spouses, you may be able to get a judge to rule that they are responsible for the debt in the divorce papers. If the bills are for you or your child, I don't think you'll find a judge that will place the entire burden on your spouse.
