Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

When my husband and I decided to get married, we agreed to split the bills in half while keeping our bank accounts separate. Come to find out, he had no money and I ended up paying all the bills (including his child support) until I filed for divorce 5 months after we got married. He never got a job and turned down work and interviews I found for him. The only work he did while we were married was back in Dallas (where he lived before we got married) where I funded the trips and provided him with the car to get back there to do the work and never saw a cent of the money he made from the jobs. He received a reimbursement check in the amount of $1400 of which he promised to give me to contribute towards the bills, which again, I never saw. So, basically, he did not live up to his end of our agreement and never paid one dime towards a bill or a meal. I would like to seek reimbursement for child support, half the filing fee from our divorce and any other expenses I paid that I am eligible for to getting reimbursed. My question is, under Kansas law, is it worth seeking? Do I have legal recourse?

If the "agreement" you mentioned was a valid prenuptial agreement, you can seek to enforce it in the divorce action in Kansas. If he has no money, or income, it might get addressed in the division of property and debts. You need to address this question with the attorney representing you in the divorce.

Good luck
