She has cut me off saying her pay is hers and not ours? She has since started to stay at the home overnight but will not try to resolve our issues. She refuses counciling and has removed items from the home. Can i get her to pay for a laywer if i am served or do i just get one now and strike first?
A: You need to consult with a family law/divorce attorney in your area ASAP. Your attorney can address all of these issues but you need do this ASAP. I cannot stress that enough. If you are afraid your spouse will leave you impoverished as leverage in a divorce a divorce attorney can walk you through this. You may also be able to work out payment for the attorney if you have been cut off and she has cleaned out your accounts. But, as I stated before, you need to do this as soon as possible before things get worse.
