You use the term "husband" so I am assuming that you are still legally married.  Do you have a separation agreement or a temporary order of the court?  You can indeed act on both of those documents and there will be different results. If you and your husband have separated but he just is refusing to pay for half of his obligations then it is time for you to go to court and establish something that you can act on.  Good luck.
