What financial help can I get if I leave my husband?
If you're married or in a civil partnership you can ask for financial support from your ex-partner as soon as you separate. This is known as 'spousal maintenance' and is a regular payment to help you pay bills and other living costs. You can't get spousal maintenance if you weren't married or in a civil partnership.
Do you have to pay your husband’s child support?
You are not obliged to pay your husband's child support, since the debt arose before you were married. On the other hand, courts often do take into account a current spouse's contribution to the household income, in order to see that the ordered child support payment is feasible and not an undue hardship.
