no money, lots of debt because of him

I need advice. I’m 22 and trying to end my 17-month marriage. I want to try and get an annulment based on fraud. He promised to provide for me so I could finish school, then after we eloped he refused to work and used my good credit to get loans to live on. Because of medical reasons, I shouldn’t work, but I was working so we would have just enough for food and gas. I still am working a part-time job to survive on my own, but I have no money and lots of debt because of him. And now I need to hire a lawyer to figure out if I can make him pay the debt and get the annulment/divorce. I live in Los Angeles County.
Does anyone have personal experience in similar circumstances? I don't want to hurt him, I still care a lot about him. It's just that I need to stop him from hurting me. Thanks! PS. There is a possibility that I qualify for being a victim of emotional abuse... Posted on 11/05/09, 08:11 pm |

If you are disabled and cannot work, then, you might be eligible to receive free legal aide. You don't even have to be disabled...just your income might qualify you.
Also, seek help from the local Catholic Charities. They have a huge amount of resources.

I am sorry for your pain,
Most likely you are both responsible for the debt. Make sure at this point any joint accounts are closed and you maintain your own bank accounts and credit cards. Your in the right place for advice. As far as emotional abuse, If there was a law protecting us from abuse of any kind just about everyone on this site would have just cause to take their xs to court on those grounds. Hang in there kid and try to take care of yourself!

I am so sorry for your situation. You need to consult a lawyer quickly.
If you still have any accounts, credit cards, etc. that are listed jointly with your husband, you need to close them. If he doesn't pay, the creditors can legally come after you - even if he spent the money.

You shouldn't work but you CAN work? Am I the only one not following the story? Going to school is different then working how? And if you can't work, what is the point of the education you can't use to be gainfully employed? Wow. I'm going to stop. Someone else can help on this one.
