I need advice on how to finalize divorce and make him responsible to pay the expenses we have had during our marriage.
I am a female non working student. I have been married for 3 years. He wanted to support me financially and paid all the bills and now I am left only in debt. He verbally abused me in the relationship and lowered my self steem. I’m seeing a counselor to help me gain my confidence back because it has affected me when I present my self not only in front of an audience but just talking to someone one on one. I have no money or job but am currently applying. Without my consent he took me off the debit account so now I have no way of paying my bills or buying food.

You need a good lawyer, and you need that lawyer right now. One place to find a qualified attorney near you is our website, http://attorneypages.com
There are differences in the divorce laws and procedure from one state to another, and I don't have all of the facts of your case. But in most states, there is a way to get a temporary support order, for people in your situation, once the divorce complaint has been filed. The court won't do this for you, though, until you file the right papers.
