GREAT QUESTION ➡️ If we separate but aren’t divorced yet, who pays the bills and who stays in the home?
There isn’t one automatic rule that applies to every couple.
Until a court enters an order or the spouses reach an enforceable agreement, separation can leave important financial and household issues unresolved.
Before moving out, stopping payment of bills, removing money from joint accounts, or making significant changes involving the children, it can be wise to speak with a family law attorney about how those decisions could affect the case.
This is exactly the kind of situation where getting legal advice BEFORE making a major move can be valuable.
