Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
My ex husband and I divorced 2 years ago, but shared separate portions of our house for the sake if our kids and expense. We agreed to continue each working and contributing to household expenses as we were able (I ran "our" business, and he worked outside the home. About 6 months ago he started seeing someone who has convinced him that that arrangement was "weird" and has since moved out, stopped paying anything for mortage, won't contribute to the expenses of the kids, is demanding I transfer the title on a car to his name only, and says he's not paying any of out consumer debt and is now entirely adversarial. He is demanding I go to the bank with him tomorrow and take his name of our accounts, or he says he will close them. The checking accounts are tied to out mortgage payments and credit cards and he says if he closes them, the bank will make to loans due immediately. I have tried to not make waves for the sake of relationships, but it is now obvious he doesn't care about his home and kids and he just wants everything he can get for himself. I need help but don't know how to stop him or what I can legally do. I need advice and help really quickly before he destroys everything. Can you help us?
