husband is threatening to take our 16 yr old son to Montana for the summer.
I called an attorney today to start the divorce process. Husband says he will take our 16 yr. old son to Montana for the summer. The problem is MONEY. I'm working only PRN, about 3-4 days per wk. Not steady work yet. Husband is claiming unemployment. Prior to that he was claiming workmans comp. He has a lawsuit going for the injury he received at work, which hasn't been settled yet. The problem is, he is withdrawing MY money. I know I need to get my name off the checking acct. and start one up in my name only. But now I have no money for gas to get to work. I'm worried that he will leave with our son one day when I'm at work. And, I'll never see him again. Do I get a restraining order? He is known to have a bad temper. Things could get out of hand. I just don't know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

I would call your lawyer as soon as possible. And document everything including the withdrawals made from your joint account. I would also make sure that he doesn't have access to your new account. And watch your purse, my stbx actually used my debit card without my permission and overdrew my account by quite a bit.

Initially I just opened up my own account, but it didn't take me long to realize that I needed a separate bank. He wanted to transfer money here or there and it was tough to keep it all documented.
Your son is 16. How does he feel about this? I think you should have a heart to heart conversation with him in which he knows that visitations should be planned. Choose your words carefully, but let him know that his whereabouts and his safety are important to you.
