It’s not that easy to afford an alimony and child support obligation and he will have to prove that he is permanently disabled as determined by the social security administration and even if he is found to be disabled, the court and the ex-have the right to look behind his claim. And, presuming the court concludes that he is capable of work, the court has the right to impute income to him and impose obligations upon him – which means that if you and your husband maintain joint accounts, the court has the right to require an investigation into those accounts. So, it makes better sense to maintain separate accounts and be prepared to prove that the money into your account was from your employment only. If your husband deposits money into your account or if there are monies into your account from an undisclosed source, presume that the court has the right to question the source of those monies.
