Ok, my husband and I have decided to file for a no-fault divorce. He still lives here at the house however plans on moving out, hopefully soon. Anyway, he opened his own bank account and informed me today that in two weeks time he would be receiving his debit card and at that point he would remove his name from our joint account. The problem is, he also stated that once he had his debit card he would only give me $890 a month for the care of our children. I don't see how he can do this since he would still be in residence here. Can he do it?? Of course my reaction was, well, if that's all you plan on contributing then as soon as you get your debit card you need to move out. Can I do this?? Any help would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out here..
Thanks,
Dawn

Is he going to change his normal contributions. Will the bills be paid any differently, and is he giving you the 890 on top of what he normally contributes????

How can that NOT be enough? My DH pays CS on 3 kids @ slightly over $600 per month. $890 seems like a great deal.

No, he will not be contributing towards anything else, just the girls.. He figured $15/month for all dental, medical and prescriptions, $45 clothing, etc... For his rate of pay and the fact that it's 3 children our state guideline says $1142 Raising triplets is not cheap.... I am not working because of the cost of daycare.

Well, you "could" let him have custody of the kids and you could work and pay child support. You might want to mention that to him and see what his reaction will be?

So right now, he is paying all the bills, and he thinks he is going to just stop paying them, and give you 890, to raise the kids, and pay all the bills?? You are contributing by raising the kids and maintianing the home, and he is contributing financially, but he wants to stop his part of the deal?? Is that right?????

yes, he feels his only responsibility should be for the girls. He feels that anything else wouldn't be right and that he needs to keep as much of his paycheck as possible in order to get a place of his own. In the meantime he is still living here making my life miserable. I can't do anything or go anywhere while he may come & go as he pleases. If I leave the house the triplets come with me and it's usually to the grocery store.

Have either of you actually filed yet ?
You need to file for temporary CS and SS

Not if they are living in the same house and he is contributing nothing to his portion of the living expenses. If/when he moves out then I agree with you. You are a SAHM.......if your H said "I want a divorce, but I'm not moving out and I'm only going to give you 300.00 a month to take care of our child and pay all the bills". Would you still see that as fair?

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.

Since you haven't filed yet, he can do whatever he wants. If he wanted, he can give you zero. You need to file and get a temp order.
