Hi I just signed in have been on the sight for a while. I just don't know what to do. I have been with my husband for 24 years. By his side while he served our country 20 year career he is retired navy chief and now has another good job as a contractor. We have a son who just turned 18 and graduated last week. Well this goes back two years ago I found out my husband was talking to a co worker and had feelings for her I went got a lawyer and at the time we had a joint checking and savings acct. I took half of savings which my lawyer said it was ok. we went to mediation and agreed I would stay in our home until our son graduated, I would get alimony and child support. In the mean time I had the 1998 ford taurus I spent some of the savings on tired for the car and bought a computer for our home and paid bills anyway. My husbands company was giving us 7 free sessions with a counselor he would not make appt. And refused to put my name back on our bank accts. So I could not live on my 34 hour week at 10.25 an hr. And own top of this My car was totaled hit in back while turning in to gas station. He bought our son a car and I have been using it to go to work in. So I asked him to leave in the agreement if I asked him to move he had thirty days he would not move out I went back to my lawyer nothing we could do now after two years him saving all his money and I spend mine on food gas and my bills and give money to my son. I finally had gotten my self straight with my debt until christmas came and he would not help me pay for christmas for my side of the family. He does not like spending money.he does not flush toilet to save on water bill, gets upset if i wash car.Anyway I am 4 months behind in all my bills and cannot get them paid. they are all in collections. So at court today I thought my lawyer was going try and get me some funds from him to help me out but now we have to wait and go to mediation I am hoping it will be soon. How does the split of our house goes we have been buying for 7 years and it was two years old when we got it. paid 210. for it or paying own it how much would I get out of it any info would help me out alot I dont know what to do now .
