My husband moved all the joint account money to his personal account. can i take any action against this.

All parents in NJ are obligated to contribute to the support of their children. In most cases, child support is based upon a formula known as the child support guidelines. In addition to the parents' incomes, the number of overnights, the cost of work-related child care and health care premium payments, the child support guidelines calculation accounts for other credits and deductions.  In addition to child support, you may also consider requesting contribution from your husband for other expenses such as the cost of the children's extra-curricular activities, the unreimbursed cost of braces and others. You may file an application with the court for child support and contribution to other expenses without instituting an action for divorce.  Your application would be filed under the non-dissolution docket.  The link below is to the court's self-help application packet for non-dissolution "FD" matters concerning custody, child or spousal support or parenting time.  If you meet the requirements on the first page of the packet, you can use it to file an application for child support with the court. http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/prose/11492_fd_initial_appl_kit.pdf You may also be entitled to spousal support from your husband including his payment of certain household expenses (ex. rent, utilities).  Spousal support is not calculated using a formula.  There are a number of statutory factors including the length of the marriage, the age of the parties, the health of the parties, earning capacities of the parties, your history of earnings, as well as your education histories, your degrees and so forth, child care-taking responsibilities. In your case, perhaps another consideration is the fact that he damaged your credit. You may file an application with the court for spousal support and contribution to household expenses without instituting an action for divorce.  You would use the same application packet found at the link above. It may be possible for you and your husband to agree on the amount of his child support and spousal support obligations to you without going to court.
