There isn't much you can do in the short term. Here's your only chance - if your husband is well-compensated, you can file for divorce and seek an emergency support order.

Who is on the lease? Your husband? You? At any rate, what can be done is the rent either gets paid or it doesn't. If it doesn't get paid, you may be looking at eviction sometime soon. Perhaps you should consult a family law attorney. If you're not working, seek employment immediately.

Check with Catholic Community Services or your church, you can also apply for aid for dependent families if you have no income and go after your kid father for child support.

You need court-ordered support immediately by filing for divorce if he can be found. If not, you need to seek state assistance.

Get yourself a lawyer and go to court for an emergency support order. Even if rent is not paid, it will take some time for your landlord to begin eviction proceedings. In that time you should be able to get assistance.

Is he working? Does he have an income? If not, there is nothing you can do. If he does have money, then you need to file a petition for divorce immediately and ask the court to enter temporary orders requiring your husband to pay the rent. You need an attorney now. If you cannot afford one, call the Idaho Volunteer Lawyers Program and they might be able to help you.

You need to bring an action for support (and divorce or separation) in the local circuit court.
