More details to this question:
My husband paid bills for 14 years and quit two months ago and served me with divorce papers. We have been married for 4 and a half years and I have a 14 year old child at home. It is not his child, but we have been with him since my sons father passed away.

Now that you have been served with divorce papers there is an open case in court. You can apply to the court for something called "pendente lite" relief which is a form of temporary support that the court will order until the divorce is finalized. Here is a link to a form I found online that is used in a paralegal course. http://www.gsaconvention.com/images/2012_Pendente_Lite_Handout.pdf
