It is not a crime but it might constitute civil contempt and subject the one who violates the order to a fine and 5 days in jail for each count of contempt for which there is a conviction.

I am getting a divorce. My husband does not want to help pay any of the bills we have together. We have a 1st and 2nd mortgage

Answered by attorney Eric Zev Reimer (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Reimer Law Firm, PLLC
I am sorry for your trouble.  Divorce inquiries are always very fact specific, and without some more information, this question is not perfectly answerable.  Assuming that the house is a marital home, and for which mortgages his name appears, your husband will not be allowed to simply stop paying the mortgage, if only because the bank would be exceedingly unlikely to let him off the hook.  In terms of the money that he is paying you, there is a difference between child support, which is not discretionary, and marital support, which is more subject to a fact senstive inquiry.  The length of your marriage will be important, as will your ability to work at a job, your ability to support yourself, etc. Lots of luck, Eric Reimer

If I get a divorce after a long term marriage, what are my rights?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
It sounds as if you may need an attorney to help you move forward, because it looks as if you got stuck after you filed initial paperwork. You need to make a request for orders of Spousal Support immediately, it will not be half of his income, but it will be a significant help. Next, you need to begin finding out exactly what the marital assets and debts are, where they are held, if any significant amounts have been removed by your husband since the separation date, and prepare a proposal to divide things approximately 50/50. If you can't work it out, you will need to go to trial and have the Judge divide things, but you need court orders, not just private agreements in order for it to be enforceable.
