More details to this question:
My husband had a mlc. He works overseas. We've always had a strong honest marriage. Now, he's filed for divorce. I stayed at home after breast cancer. I'm 55. He has left me here with no money, no means of even getting a job. No internet, no tv, no phone. I have no family. We've been married 9 years. He comes home but won't settle with me or even talk to me.

Upon motion, the court has the power to award temporary support during the time that the divorce is pending. You should be entitled to?court ordered support that will be taken directly from your husband's wages.

You should speak with your attorney about getting some temporary orders in place and also get your attorney on the task of looking at or for his assets right away.

Sure he will. He treats you like a rag doll because you allow it. You need a lawyer.

Yes it is legal. You need to find an attorney to represent you. My guess is that given your situation, the attorney will get the court to order your husband to pay your attorney fees.

Get an attorney, plead your circumstances and seek temporary relief during the pendency of the divorce. Ask him to be ordered to pay you attorney's fees.

There is nothing illegal about anyone going on a vacation. Your question really is, is this morally right. you need to file a Motion with the Court asking for spousal support and a contribution to your expenses. He can behave however he wants to behave until someone in authority tells him otherwise.
