The Question:

“ I’m getting divorced and my husband is supposed to be filling out the paperwork to make it final. He keeps saying everything will ‘even out later,’ so I shouldn’t worry about who’s paying what right now. He’s making more money than me and covering fewer bills. This doesn’t seem fair. What can I do?”

In this episode of Love Court, divorce attorney Jessica Anderson responds to a listener whose soon-to-be ex is dragging his feet on finalizing paperwork and leaving her with more financial responsibility—despite earning more. He claims things will “even out later,” but is that a risk worth taking? Jessica explains how to protect yourself during a pending divorce, how to request temporary financial relief, and why waiting it out might leave you footing the bill.
