I separated from my husband in Sept of 2003 (not legal separation just left the home) As we both were on the lease I continued to pay at least half of the rent while the other half went unpaid. I was pregnant and had two other children under 3 who were in child care so I was unable to pay more. In the end the lease expired (Dec. 31st) and there was a balance due. I sent a letter with my key to the PM including contact info for both myself and my estanged spouse and asked that they send the itemized bill to both parties. They did not and I got stuck paying the $2050 as well as the cable, phone, and several other bills because I was appliying for housing and couldn't do so with an open lease in my name that had a balance due on it.
Over our 10 year relation ship we separated several times and I cannot tell you how many times I got stuck paying the bills AND caring for each child. The total of $2600 I ended up paying was supposed to be a little bit of a cusion for me and my now 3 children under the age of 4.
QUESTION: Can I sue my spouse once the divorce is final (or before) for monies owed jointly while we were married but separated? It is too late to make it part of the current divorce settlement and I do not want to re-file.
