Husband has stopped paying household bills

[pinky2]

Husband and I are separated, and he is no longer paying bills for the home I occupy with our children. Our house is in foreclosure, albeit he has income to pay. I feel he is punishing me for divorce being on the cards, and attempting to get me to deplete a small inheritance I have (non-marital asset). He knows I panic if things aren't taken care of in a timely fashion, and I will pay what we owe to save the home, however I feel this is unfair since he is most definitely in a position to accommodate the mortgage.

My question is: If he continues in this manner, how will his behavior, which clearly jeopardizes the welfare of his children, affect/reflect on him as we move through divorce proceedings. I work two part-time jobs, and every cent I make goes to the support of our three children. Many thanks for any advice.

If he is paying nothing toward the maintenance of the children it will be a big strike against him.

Keep thorough records of everything. Send letters to him and keep copies - requesting contribution toward children's expenses.
