More details to this question:
My husband stole my iPad and knows I'm soon filing for divorce. I take an prescription that is expensive but I must have it in order to function. I've been married over 20 years and never worked. He now will not get my prescription for me and I have no money to get it. What can I do?

You can file for divorce and the judge will require that he pay for it and other necessaries until you are divorced. The catch 22 is that you will need money to file for the divorce.

If you will be filing for divorce, you should file as soon as possible so that you can have the court Order your husband to pay for the necessary prescriptions. If you have been a stay at home wife/mother for 20 years, you should also receive spousal support. It is also possible to have the court Order that your husband pay your attorney's fees.

Talk to your attorney. Probably file for DOM and file motion for Emergency Temporary Relief.

When you file the Complaint for Divorce, you should also file, at the same time, an Interim Motion ("interim" means: "while the case is pending"), asking the Judge to Order your Husband to immediately return your iPad to you, and to pay for all your prescriptions while the divorce case is pending.
