I was just wondering if a spouses actions matter in FL courts? So far my husband plotted with his mother to leave our child and I, took $10,000 from our $14,000 savings, cut us off, doesn't pay any of our mortgage, credit cards, and only gives me $200 a month for our child who is with me mon-friday (he makes $73,000 to my $34,000), left June 1 and has a girlfriend who he as already brought around my son who is being tested for special needs, and now is on a lavish vacation to puerto rico with his family. Meanwhile, i'm going to the doctors appt's and paying for them, spending time at our son's school to support him, and doing all of the back to school shopping, and paying all OUR bills with the help of my family and friends. Now his lawyer has denied going in front of the magistrate for the temp. hearing, my atty can't figure out why. Do his actions matter when we go in front of the judge?
Yes I do believe that his actions will matter. I am also in Florida and waiting to go in front of a judge for an emergency hearing for temorary alimony and child support. My ex also makes 70,000 to my 30,000 and refuses to pay anything to me but everyone I talk to says when he gets in front of a judge that it will not look good for him. You need to check on what is going on with your soon to be exhusbands lawyer because I did not even know that you could deny going to an emergency hearing. I want you to know that I can totally understand where you are coming from I am in the exact kind of situation. I moved out on may 1st and have yet got one penny from my ex.Stay strong and beleive in yourself because you deserve to be able to live without needing help from others. I know because if it were not for my parents I would not be able to even live on my own. I hope it helps to know that you are not the only one out there in this kind of situation.
