The writ can be resolved by paying a "purge" amount which bears some relation to the arrearage. You could get a hearing on the amount,... View More

Are the bills "our bills" or his bills and your bills? You are not responsible for his bills.
If you want him out, and the residence belongs to you, simply evict him.

It sounds like you need to try and move out of the home and get away from the toxic environment. If you believe that a child is being abused, abandoned, or neglected, you should contact the department of children and families.

A victim wouldn't have standing to appeal the results of a criminal case. Also, the time to appeal has no doubt passed. Finally, you should have asked this in the Virginia sub-forum.

If there's a criminal case pending there's likely a "no contact" order in place, which should protect you during the pendency of the case. However, on the civil side, there may be a custody/visitation decree from a court that you should be mindful of and not violate. All this is... View More

You need to address these issues with the judge that is handling your divorce case. If there are no court orders to the contrary than you continue to share the children and the house. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
I put a temporary injunction on my spouse and they hired an attorney before the hearing. If I decide to voluntarily dismiss the temporary injunction prior to the hearing, will I be responsible for their attorney fees?

If the authorities refuse to do anything, you, on your own, still can ask the judge to hold your ex in contempt of court. File a motion and ask for a hearing.
