I'm not entirely sure what you're actually asking - are you asking if he can be penalized for leaving or if he can be forced to keep paying on household expenses?

Do you have a joint account? If so, go pay the bills. Use YOUR money to pay the bills. He's allowed to leave.

Yes, can be forced to keep paying on household expenses? And What are abandonment laws for my state? And How can I get emergency child support from him?

He can be ordered to pay SOME of the household expenses, but if he's paying for all of YOUR expenses, how is he expected to keep up a home for himself?

And What are abandonment laws for my state?

Abandonment is for children, and he hasn't abandonded them.

And How can I get emergency child support from him?

You file for divorce. It'll cost you at least $355 to file the first piece of paper.

Can i get him to pay for the devorce attorney expenses? With him suddenly out of the house,every penny goes to everything including the credit cards he ran up n my name.

My husband and i are seperated for 3 months (no papers filed), he is currently letting another family member drive his car. That person has had several accidents that were all her fault. He is not helping me fiancially. Can i remove him and the car his is not driving from my insurance policy? Do I have to give him some kind of notice?

How is the car titled (are you on the title?)

By the way, legal abandonment applies to minors, and happens when a parent goes for a long period of time (2-7 years depending on the state)without making any attempt to contact the other parent or be involved in the child's life in any way. With your son being 17, you will never be able to pursue this charge.

2 to 7 years? Really? Because in Ohio is none of those.
