Can I get him to make the hose payments until the divorce is final?

[sgilbert43]

What is the name of your state? Georgia
I will have been legally married 10 years in August. My husband and I have 2 children. Two weeks ago he told me he had been having an affair for months and wanted a divorce. He left and moved directly in with the other woman. Can I get him to keep making the house payments even before we get things final? I am on disablity for 3 years now and will remain on it. He has a 8 year job in which he is training to move up in soon. He said he would make the house payments, but recently got angry with me, slammed his fist into my car door window and is now refusing to cooperate. Please advise. Do I need to file for divorce myself immediately to get this handled?
Thanks

Yes, it would be wisest to get an attorney asap (get help from family to pay for it). Realistically if you are on disability you are not going to be able to refinance the house into your name, therefore you are not going to be able to keep the house. What you want to make sure happens is that the house payments get made until you can sell the house and split the proceeds.

You really do need an attorney ASAP. Don't let pride get in the way, ask your family for help.

yes, you really do need an attorney, and you really do need to remove your personal identifying information from your post. Including changing your sign on if that is really your name.

Why do people do that??????

Can't this marriage be saved somehow? I realize she is pushing the ten year mark, nd she isn't fooling me one bit. Got an intuiton that she'll never collect on this one.

ah Bali, I am disappointed in you, I thought sure you would jump on the title on this one!!!!! LOL

Like I needed to be beatup by strangers. Thank you, I've had enough. I have begged my husband to stay and work on it but he lead me on to get me in the right mood to do what he wanted financially and with property. He doesn't want to save it. I will be trying to get an attorney today. And, no need to change my sign on, this is my last post. Thanks for the encourgement.
