Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

I am a mother of three my husband left me right after my back surgery.. Did not contribute financially and left me with all the bills. He has had several infidelities with other women. I tried several times to make it work. I now am seeing someone and is wanting to help me financially. We are going to file for divorce. My questions are Do I need to worry about my boy friend? He told me if I filed at the ORS he would never give me any money and has now shut off my phone and is threatening to take me off the medical insurance. Can he do that?

You don't need to worry about your boyfriend unless you're living with him and you intend to request alimony in your divorce. This is because you cannot receive alimony if you are cohabitating with another man. With respect to his other actions, I would strongly advise you to retain an attorney, file for divorce, and file a request for temporary orders, including having him put you back on his insurance while the case is pending. I offer a free initial consultation in the event you would like to meet to discuss your case further. My number is 801-274-3100. Ask the receptionist to put you on my calendar for a free consultation. Thank you, Cory R. Wall
