Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

My spouse and I are separated and have filed for divorce. We jointly own two homes with outstanding mortgages/taxes/expenses/etc. I have been paying all of these debts on the two homes for the last several months since my spouse refuses to pay anything. Question is: can I recoup these expenses from my spouse when we go to trial and will a judge give me credit towards settlement when it is time to hear our case?

Thank you.

You can ask. It may get folded into the general distribution. Isn't this a question that should be directed to the attorney handling your divorce?
