My husband up and left me and took off to UK where he is from. We own a house in both our names and I am paying for everything. I have been trying to contact him but he ignores me. What are my options for getting him to help with the bills?

I used this website to find out some info on my boyfriend’s crooked boss. You can post a question and a lawyer will respond. I hope either here or there you get some good answers. http://www.avvo.com/
File for a divorce, uncontested, desertion, get clear title and sell the house. If you have kids hit him up for child support, with child support hanging over him he isn’t likely to be coming back to the US anytime soon. So the house is yours and he left the country. This happens to a lot of women who marry foreign men that have homes and families in another country. Don’t you women read the papers. where the woman’s husband took the kids and went back to Iran and since the laws are different there she couldn’t get her kids back. She finally hired mercenaries to go in and get the kids back, it cost thousands of dollars. Why are American women so dumb? That’s why the people in Europe call Americans the most educated dumbbells in the world. If I were you I would act now, don’t hesitate one more hour. Get a lawyer and get moving. Good Luck
Hire an attorney. Unfortunately, as far as your creditors, all they care about is that one of you pay and whatever bills have both names…if he isn’t paying..you will have to. There is no guarantee that if he is found he will pay the bills. My ex was court ordered to pay, but never did and I had to. It sucked. And life isn’t fair,but get an attorney and let your bill collectors know you will make every effort to take of your debt. Good luck.
You’ve got a few options depending on how far you want to go and a few other factors. The most reasonable I would think is bringing him into court to discuss this. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with international laws concerning this, so this actually may or may not be an option. You could go and track him down yourself. It’s real easy to track people down these days. You could also just move to a house that’s cheaper and you’re more comfortable with. That’s all I can come up with for the moment.
Most Counties in the USA have a Sheriff’s website that posts legal aid tools and forms. There should be a telephone# you can contact for assistance in addition to free forms. You have to have his current address. If you don’t find out where his family lives and start searching. We have very close ties with the UK.
Don’t wait, get a lawyer right away. I would immediately file for a divorce. Ask your lawyer what you can do about your financial situation. Can you get alimony? Can you get the title to your house in your name only in a divorce settlement. Find out what your legal options are.
HIRE SOMEONE TO FIND HIM AND KICK HIS ***…. JK.. YOU NEED TO REALLY GET YOU A LAWYER AND GET SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND IF YOU HAVE KIDS CHILD SUPPORT AND IM ONE NOT TO BELIEVE IN THOSE THINGS BUT SINCE THIS GUYS IS BEING A JERK AND JUST UP AND LEFT AND NOT HELPING.. THEN DO IT GET HIS *** BIG TIME FOR ALL HE HAS…
If he has left the country there isn’t much you can do.
Seek legal advice anyway.
Hes obviously not coming back to help you out you need to take this to higher level and hire a lawyer.*
File a motion for temporary support in court. Claim abandonment and financial distress.
