What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My spouse filed for divorce and then moved all the belongings that he wanted out of the house 1 day while I was at work and now will not pay any of the bills except for half the mortgage.
My lawyer filed for a temp order to get him to pay the bills and had our first court date today. The 2 lawyers agreed to give my spouse 21 days to turn in the CFS and next court date is 5/31/11.
How do I pay the May bills? My income will not cover them and if I don't pay the credit cards, my credit will be ruined.
Is there a way to get the court to make my spouse pay at least half the bills before 5/31?
I don't understand how he can just move out, take what he wants and not pay any bills?!? My lawyer was also supposed to address the missing marital property, but didn't....just put on the order that no property can be removed from the house. It's too late now!
Am I wrong for being frustrated? Is there anymore that can be/should be done? Or do I have to just wait it out and hope the judge decides on 5/31 to order my spouse to pay the bills? I also know he is going to lie through his teeth and make up expenses such as rent and other bills that he isn't actually paying (I know he's staying with a friend for free).
