I separated from my husband of six years for emotional and verbal abuse of my sixteen year old son and myself. I needed to protect my son who has become severely depressed and was wanting to move back east with his father.
My questions are:
We have a house together that was his prior. We refinanced the house two years into our marriage and I am on the deed...if that makes any difference. What if any claims do I have to the house?
I did not work four years of our marriage and now only work part time at our church, 25 hours a week. Would I be able to get spousal support?
He's cut me off from our joint checking account by moving his employment deposits into another separate account. Prior to moving out I removed $5,000 from one of our accounts so that I could get myself and son out of the house and into a rental house and be able to afford it between what I make at the church and this money for several months. I am now seriously wanting to divorce him and my only fret is the credit card bills...they are all in his name and I have a couple in my name only. I know the debt on his cards are around 34,000 and my personal card is $4,000...will a judge order me to pay half of the cards that were in his name??? I will never make the money he does and am diligently working to pay off my own credit card...it just makes me ill thinking about this???
