[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 577554, member: 11791"] The fact that you are legally married... is huge. Even in the most backwoods places that I've ever heard about... the [B]married [/B]wife has rights. If he agreed to you not working and looking after the kids... then your share of the assets is your pay for NOT working. You did your share. If he wanted you to pay for half of everything, he would have insisted you work... in which case, you would still get your share. Get my drift? not that the courts will necessarily split everything up equally, but... being married still has advantages. Talk to DV shelter or lawyer about the utilities, etc. - some places, the account can only be opened by the owner of the building or with proof of a legal rental agreement. Don't let them run out without knowing for sure what the next step is. But... why are YOU paying for those? Isn't that HIS responsibility? (not that you can force anything, but... have you asked? if he actually refuses to pay half of the utilities, it would count against him in court... but sometimes it isn't worth poking the tiger... and this fellow is definitely a tiger.)
