My husband had me evicted I am disabled and was being abused. Emotionally, mentally & financially. I had restraining order. But I had to leave. No support, I paid a lawyer 30,000$ and ended up with nothing! Not even divorced and it’s been 3 years since I left home. I am in HUD housing. Ex tried getting back together.He has been started a second business, bought another Harley, another car, trailer. And I am on welfare, without a car. Married 8 years. How does this happen!?
Each case is different and it is impossible to analyze the circumstances of yours without knowing details.
You should file a claim for postseparation support and alimony.
Will You Owe Your Spouse Alimony After a Divorce? is a detailed article that explains the ins and outs of alimony and is applicable even in your situation as the spouse needing support.

I spent 30,000$ and ran out. 3 years later in hud housing. I tried getting back with him as it was safer than where I live now. He has another buisness, another Harley, fixed another truck we bought together,a new trailer, possibly another property, son running one buisness, no debit. I couldn’t handle it. He wouldn’t even let me borrow a vechile for a day
I had meds locked up, doors locked, food hidden. No access to money, credit. I have pictures proof. Dr letters. My ex has been to my apartment. HUD housing. Heard the shootings (that happen weekly! ) the abuse from property manager. No reasonable request for accommodation. My husband watched me fight. Be over charged. And walked out again! And is aware they illegally towed my car! Never gave me parking spot after Dr request. My husband went “ home “ I don’t ever get to. Nor can I afford any lawyer at 900$ a month in disability. And I have called everyone! Litterally! About him, disability. ADA, HUD, legal aide & everyone in between! They are sorry. And here is another phone number. That won’t work. I am at breaking point. Done. No point
