Re: divorce and bankruptcy

Who is paying your house payment. You need to see a lawyer, file for divorce, get a court order requiring your husband to pay your attorney, get either a status quo order or an order for child support that will be a wage assignment. Depending on how bad it is at home, he may or may not be required to move now. However, at the end, one of you will have to leave the house. If you wish, give me a call at 248-353-9400. Bill Stern
