I've been married for 17 years to a soldier. i have been a homemaker raising our 3 kids through various deployments for most of our marriage. I'm a permanent resident, and for the past few years my husband as put me on a very low allowance. We have moved over 13 times around the world. I have no access to any of the accounts where the money from his pay gets deposited. We have a joint account where I'm on, and he puts money on there. I never receive a budget I can work with, yet my husband makes decent money. There have been domestic issues which are documented and infidelity I can't proof.
I have a free consultation tomorrow with a lawyer, however I know that I can't pay for a lawyer unless adequate support has been established. There is an old legal separation agreement, that states even if we reconcile and live together he would have to pay the amount stated, but he stopped that payment once we reconciled after a 6 month separation. Is it legal for him to hide all the money? I can't pay off debt in my name because of this. I tried for a long time now to get my husband to set up an appropriate household budget with no success. What are my options?
Is there anything I can file in court on my own? Legal aid would be another option. Hopefully someone with experience has some insights for me.
