Spousal support

[patandlori]

What is the name of your state? North Carolina

My husband has been granted temporary custody of our 3 children, and I have been forced to leave our home.

I have no access to any of our joint accounts. He refuses to give me any money at all. I am depending on borrowing from relatives to keep from being evicted.

He has been to court for the custody hearing with his lawyer. I have no money to hire an attorney, pay rent, buy food, pay my credit card bills.

I have been a stay at home mom since we were married 13 years ago which is what we both wanted. He has a good job, makes over $200,000. He earned his MBA and we moved abroad for several years so he could advance in his job.

I am planning to look for work immediately, but since I have not worked in so long, I know it won't be enough at first to support me without any other financial assistance.

We do have assets/equity in 401K, stock options and our home
What can I do to get money from him now for living expenses and to hire an attorney?

What happened that made you forced to leave the home? Did you not show up for court?

If they are joint accounts how is he not letting you have access? If your name is on the accounts you have just as much right to go to the bank and get money as he does.
