I answered and contested within 20 days, Am seeking temporary support and the martial home to raise our children. Husband did not respond to contested answer, ( 20 days has passed). My request for emergency support was denied, but we will go before a magistrate soon. Husband walked out on us, no financial support ( been 6 weeks), is selling off assets quietly and is hiding bank account funds in the meantime,and has been threatening to conceal our minor child . The courts turned down my request for an injunction to stop his actions.Will my attempt to file a motion for default be in my best interest, or should I wait until the magistrate hearing? I need to stop husbands action now before everything is gone, I do not want to slow things down by filing the wrong papers.

This isn't the way our court systems are supposed to work. I don't know where you're from, but you evidently have a real live kangaroo court in your community.

Courts routinely provide temporary support (at the very least child support) and it's very common to stop all actions of selling marital assets until the court decides who's entitled to what.

Is there a possibility that your husband is friends with the judge?

Do you have an attorney representing you? If you don't, get one ASAP. If you do, you may need to look into getting a different one.

I agree with Dev, something is going on here. If you are losing motions that you seemingly should not lose then you NEED an attorney. You should be able have your attorney fees paid as part of the settlement. So shop around for an attorney NOW. Don't go back to court witout one.

If he is selling things, are they in his name alone ? If jointly how is he selling them legally,

What you do is make a list of all the items and in court he has to show the sale, and the money they bring in will be part of the property to be divided.

Where are the kids, do they live with you or him ?
