My stbx and I are in divorce mediation.We have not filed divorce papers yet and we still live in the same house but different rooms. My stbx is dating and is bringing my son with her three children on the dates. They spent 8 hours at her house yesterday. He is paying for all activities they do....dinner ,lunch, minature golf, harlemglobetrotters...with my money.

Can I stop my stbx from taking my son with him on his dates. We are not divorced yet I do not want my son going. Is this being unreasonable? Can I stop him???
thank you

Why does he have access to your money?

when we started mediation we signed papers saying we could not close out any accounts all of our bill are payed through our account. We still have a mortgage and all household bills to pay..we are trying to sell the house

we have always had one account and used it jointly. How do you still pay all the bils with seperate accounts?

That was a bad document to draw up and sign. So, don't close the account, just set up a new account and then contact the creditors being paid directly transfer the direct payments to be paid from that new account. Your bank should be able to help you do this. Some have the capability on a website; others, you may have to go in and speak to an officer.

If your paycheck is being direct deposited by your employer, have that stopped at once. Go to your HR or Payroll person and they will help you.

Then you have follow d the letter of the agreement...you haven't closed any account, you've just opened a new one with only your name.

Did your STBX want it this way? If so, it sounds like he knew he would abuse it. Let him take you back to court if he thinks that document you signed has legs. Personally, I don't think it has, especially if you continue to make the legitimate payments that would have been taken from the joint account.

Thank you for the advice. I did go to payroll today to stop direct deposit. I just hope the house sells quick.
