I'm not sure if there is any way you can make him do it before the divorce is final. I know you can request reimbursement for what he doesn't pay while he is living there. Good luck getting that too! I'd call the clerk of courts and ask. Also, even if there is an order that says he has to do it, the energy company, garbage company, and car insurance company doesn't care, as long as they get their money. Just be cautious and realize that just because the court says he has to do it, doesn't mean the electric company will let you keep your lights on when only half the bill gets paid!

Unfortunately, until there's an order in place that says he has to pay... he's ruining BOTH of your credit if the bills don't get paid.


*DO* keep a detailed list of what your bank balances were before
