Re: paying bills

The husband is not required to pay the bills unless there is court order that states he must pay.

However if this involves a house and the husband's name is on the mortgage, then he is obligated to make the monthly payments to the mortgage company, as this is a separate contract, outside probate court.

If you have any questions please email or contact me directly.

Re: paying bills

A restraining order does not alter or affect contractual and family obligations. In a divorce action, temporary orders can and should be sought to determine how bills will be paid. You should seek representation as soon as possible in order to obtain an order.

I concentrate in family law, and would be happy to assist.
