Unknown to me my husband has stopped paying all bills that came in only my name. The cell phone (which his phone was on, and 1 daughters in college) Credit cards, Inernet, cable, Doctor & hospital bill. I have no income at this time. Not even for gas for the car, food, co-pays, medication, my doctors, nothing. These creditors are coming after me with a vengance all day, night & weekends... This has hindered me in every way possible. Does anyone know of any IL laws that state he should be paying our bills while married. They are "OUR" bills, but in my name. I just want to get on my feet again. My attorney says we have to wait for a court date to get temporary maintence. But, my god, how long should this actually take. It's been over a year already. I only have a few friends I feel comfortable asking for help. My husband's attorney constantly lies in court about my husbands income. The judge has caught him everytime. But, they did nothing, because it was not on the agenda for that day. This is getting ridiculous, I'm hungry, and severely depressed. Even if my doctor ok'd some kind of job for me, I can't even get to a interview, or to work if I got the job. It's a constant vicious circle. I thought bills encured during were joint? Did I think wrong again. Everyone says, get a new attorney. My attorney is with the top firm in our area. So, what am I doing wrong. Or what have I not done, or expressed to her the seriousness of my situation. Please, if you know of any Illinois laws that could help. Of course IL is a no fault state. So, the court could care less about his cheating. All the money he spends everyday on his very very young girlfriend. It's breaking my heart, and mind. And, with everything else, the light is getting dimmer everyday. Why does the IL court think it's ok for my husband to take out someone everynight for dinner, while I go hungry. While the bills in his name get paid, and mine don't. These were joint debt's. W A I T . . . THE PHONE. OK, my lawyer just called, right now. She received my messages. I have to be at her office 8:00AM monday morning for an Emergency hearing. Wish me Luck !!! Even though, I have this court date. If you have any suggestions before I go on Monday, please write me. The people I have encountered on this site have been absolutley wonderful ! Very empathtic. I guess it's because people with empathy look for help, and will TAKE suggestions from other's, to at least try and make the correct decision. And, at least TRY, and not hurt the other person if not necessary. I still for some love sick reason don't want to hurt him. But, in the same breath...Yes, I do wish he could feel as bad as I do, so he could know what I am going through. I won't have internet access much after Sunday, so thank you in advance to all. I will try and get on here as much as possible though.
