More details to this question:
We have been informally separated for three weeks. I have stayed in the house we own. He is staying with family. We have three children and are sharing custody equally. He wants to separate our finances immediately. He makes $85K annually, I make $15K. If he refuses to contribute to our shared debt and expenses, what are my legal options?

Dear Anonymous,
Unfortunately your only option is to file for divorce and request support. Based on you incomes he will pay you child support and/or alimony. He is not legally obligated to continue to contribute to your shared debt and expenses.
