Your question opens up a multitude of possible responses. If your concern revolves around the maintenance of the house expense, the standard family law approach is both parties while occupying the home are responsible for those expenses. If a party moves out, the person staying in the home is responsible for the mortage, taxes, insurance and utilities. These principles are enforceable with a court order. When you file your divorce petition, you should consider filing a motion requesting child custody, visitation , child support and spousal support. please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
