My question involves a marriage in the state of: ohio
I am on ssdi and have two children from a previous relationship. After an incident of domestic violence, I immediately was granted a 3 year cpo and filed for divorce. I do not have an attorney. He has already broken and been found guilty of violating the protection order twice, with each incident over just 6 days. He hasn't been sentenced yet.
With the top, he got a police escort out of our rented apartment. With the cpo, he designated his son to come get tools and remaining belongings. Unfortunately for him, his son is furious with him and refuses to help him in any way. The belongings remain and I've not touched them.
As far as the divorce goes, he is concerned about division of property and debts. Other than sheets and kitchen basics, we own nothing outright. We have negative equity in everything, mostly due to his crappy financial decisions, most of which I wasn't aware of. For example he took out a loan for furniture and never paid. Took out a loan for appliances, never paid, and then sold them for cash while I was out shopping for the day. He took out two credit cards, maxed them out, and never paid a dime. We have no joint accounts. We both have our own car loans, both with negative equity, mine just purchased a week before this happened.
He is under the impression that I should be taking at least half the debt and he should get half the household furniture. I need the furniture for my children and can't afford to replace it. Ohio is a fair and equitable state. We are talking about maybe $12000 in debt not including the cars. He also has a Harley with about $4500 in equity, bought before the marriage but the equity was gained during the marriage.
I just lost 75% of our family income due to his, um, poor behavior. I can't afford this! If it goes to court, what can I reasonably expect being disabled with 2 kids? It may end up to just go in my favor if he is sentenced before he can argue about the divorce.
It is further complicated that we have no contact with one another, which is of course what I want, and neither of us has an attorney.
