Question: Judge, my husband and I have been separated for 2 years, but we had both our names on all of the bills. He went and had his name removed and I had to pay them in order to get service where I live please tell me what can I do.

The Judge’s Answer: You can file for a divorce and request the court order your husband to reimburse you for the bills you paid or a portion thereof. Remember even though you are separated, you are still married. Any debt incurred during the course of the marriage is presumed to be marital debt.
