Have you called legal aide?
They might be able to assist you...
Has he left you? If he has abandoned you, yes, you can do something. I would suggest you call legal aid, they will ask a few questions and tell you where to turn from there.
Good luck to you!

Breaking the law? It's not against the law to be a bad parent or bad husband (abuse, criminal excluded) Breaking the MORAL law of fatherhood and marriage, yes he has and is. My dear (young i'm sure) reread your question to yourself. Now ask yourself, "is this a husband and a father?" You don't have a joint bank account? Trust issues in the marriage? Sounds like you know the answer simply by asking the question. LOOK at the writing on the wall. If you love him and want this to work, sit him down, and call him out. If he blows up or throws a fit. Cut your losses now, get a lawyer and RUN don't walk to a court. MY opinion.Good Luck! Just remember you have to think about the kids...

I agree with k_st8r. This sounds remarkabley similar to my prior marriage. My husband was having affairs, neglecting our relationship and our children. In essence, he had 'abandoned' me just as LissaC had mentioned. I came to the realization too that I was a victim of emotional abuse. I finally had the strength in the end to stand up for myself and tell him what I needed and wanted and how he had hurt me and how I couldn't trust him. I set a personal marker for myself that if the relationship had not changed within a year, I would leave. Of course he couldn't and wouldn't change and so I divorced him. It was the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life but now I've found much happiness with a husband who loves me unconditionally just as God does. Good Luck to you and stay strong and true to yourself and your kids!

It is not against the law,but he is wrong in what he is doing. You need to talk with him and find out whats going on. If he is not coming home after work,helping with the bills,or giving to his children then maybe you should consider telling him where the door is and go and file for child support. He would pay then. I know this is hard for you but you have to be responiable if he can't.
