Q: My husband and I are separated due to abuse issues and I need him to help pay shared debt.
He wont pay his portion of the shared credit card bills and this is putting my daughter and I in a very bad situation as I'm on disability with an extremely limited budget. He's basically leaving us with less then 300$ to live on. I have an order of protection against him so I cant talk to him directly. What should I do next?

A: You need to retain an experience matrimonial attorney and file for divorce, Pendente Lite child and spousal support. You need to retain the best attorney you can afford. Remember a cheap lawyer is rarely if ever good and a good attorney is not cheap.
