If you and your husband have filed for a marital dissolution, hopefully both of you have a family law attorney representing you concerning this proceeding.
If you have some bills that are in default, you can ask your spouse to pay for them and if he refuses, you can file a petition with the court seeking an order that the bills get paid and by whom. I also suggest that you contact your creditors about the situation and try and work out a monthly payment plan. Good luck.
