Any bills you incur AFTER the date of service of the Petition for Dissolution would be sole and separate debts. However, he certainly should have a SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE obligation that would assist you with your bills.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for pursuing everything you are entitled to. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
