What is the name of your state: Georgia
I have an odd situation. I'm a woman who works full-time and my husband was the one to stay at home, however he never completely fulfilled that traditional role.
I filed for divorce almost a year ago, but two weeks later one of our children was diagnosed with leukemia. We never had a chance to go to court and everything was put on hold. We still lived together (separate beds) during this time, I worked as much as I could and he continued in his role, although his responsibilities went way down because half the time two people were never in the house as they usually were. He had a lot of free time as a result, but never looked for a job.
Once our son was out of the hospital from early October - mid January he never looked for a job, even a temporary one. We started divorce talks up again, but they weren't going well, so we were set for mediation in mid-January. Unfortunately, my son's leukemia has returned once again putting this whole divorce on hold.
So, based on my situation, my question is this: What responsibility do I have toward him financially? Since we are legally separated, am I obligated to continue to provide for him? We're still in the same house and will be until our son gets out of the hospital (two+ months).
Thank you in advance.
