I have been separated from my h for a year but he refuses to talk about finances. We both have some savings.
I live in the marital home with our 3 dcs, he is renting a flat. I have the dcs full time at the moment.
He seems to have stopped his direct debit on the bills (I'll find out about the mortgage tomorrow). I am not working at the moment and would find it hard to go back at the moment as the dcs are very young, and the youngest is still a baby.
He refuses to engage with any sort of conversation on finances, including refusing to respond to my solicitor.
What can I do? I don't wnat to be forced into selling the house because of his pigheadedness. I know he has more money in the bank than I do, and because I have the children and full responsibility ultimately (as he is v irresponsible generally), I want to keep some savings in case of emergencies. Obviously I'll use it if I have to, but I do't see why I should when he is spending his time and money partying and I am using it all for the dcs anyway.
Any words of wisdom?
