The lines you should have paid attention to were these:He is making sure that my child and myself will see nothing and will not have a roof over our heads.
Is there anything I can do to protect myself and my child from his actions.
I would really appreciate anyones advise.
rather than the one word that never fails to trigger a response from you.
Good luck ohcrap in getting something concrete sorted out for you & your child. The best advice we can offer is what you've already had - seek legal advice asap, & put together a timeline of events past, present & anything that happens in the future (including attempts at contact on either side), as the OR & the law will find that very useful in reminding your ex of his responsibilities.BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."

Er...... BH, did you miss this:
He is making sure that my child and myself will see nothing and will not have a roof over our heads.
and this:
My husband does not support us in any way... no CSA or no contribution to the mortgage ... nothing.
Okay, we only have the OP's side of the story here, but running up a load of debt very recently and quitting a well paid job doesn't strike me as the most honourable of actions, especially when there is a child involved which needs the support of his/her father.
Best of luck to you ohcrap, I can only echo the advice you've already been given to seek legal advice as soon as you canYou can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that

Heaven help me. His CHILD is not a creditor for goodness sake.
If you have nothing helpful to offer to the OP may I politely suggest you step away from this thread?You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that

There's plenty more I could say to you, but I will not allow my anger at your post to give you room to take over ohcrap's thread at what is clearly a very difficult time for them. Hopefully, you will give them the same consideration & refrain from making any more useless comments in it.BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."

What they're concerned about are the repercussions for their family, the fact that he's not attempting to support their child in any way whatsoever, either with maintenance payments or a roof over their head.
