Q: What steps to take,my husband(soul provider & only income) gets me & our kids evicted,then leaves the home with mone
My husband left me and the kids without money or any means to honor the eviction order. Taking me off the bank account and took all money. Married 9 yrs with 2 kids 1yr old and 8 yr old I’ve not worked the entire marriage due to my lupus. This is now the 9th time he’s left in one year. He leaves never calling providing or supporting making us go without for months at a time. What can I do to delay this eviction to give me some time as he is at his moms and me and the kids have no where to go at all.
A: You need to file for divorce and ask for emergency financial support. You may or may not be able to delay the eviction. You will need to talk to a landlord tenant attorney about that.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with Ms. Edwards. You need to file for divorce and ask the court for emergency relief to allow you to find a new place and keep the kids fed. If there is an eviction order already, there is no longer anything you can do to delay it. Talk with counsel ASAP to address this.

A: I agree with my colleagues. Consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action to file for a divorce and seek emergency financial support. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
