Our marriage has been in trouble ever since I stopped working(due to trying to go back to school & open up a business), my husband has been very disrespectful and very distant with me. Yesterday, he left and I haven't heard anything since, so I need to know what I need to do because I don't work and we have 3 kids. Serious answers only please

Contact your local Welfare Office, they will be able to give you advice. Officials can remove child support from his check before he gets it. Not sure of the process, but call them. Yes, if he is not living in the home, he has to help support his children. Good luck!

Yes your husband is liable for child support. If you really want to collect the financial support, you will need to bring a lawyer into the situation. A lawyer can really help affect his credit and other business transactions, by filing a child support order. I'm not a lawyer, but I know that if you really want to make him pay you will need to get one involved.
The other solution would be to try to resolve your marriage and bring healing to both of your hearts.That can be difficult in your situation considering he left you with the kids and gave you no contact information. This sounds like a very serious situation and your marriage may be on the line. I hope things work out. Good luck.

File for a legal seperation which contains a support request. Or go to the department of human services and they will file a support order on your behalf. You do not have to be divorced. You only need to reside in seperate locations. Just keep in mind this also leaves him the right to dispute custody of the children. You can however get temporary custody in a seperation or a child support case. This can take some time to get established. You may have to adjust your plans in the mean time.

He is liable to support the children, you may also be entitled to spousal support, if you're in a hurry, go to legal aid, file for a temporary restraining order this can grant you protection, an immediate custody order and allow you to have case number to work from, file for legal separtion, if you think it's time for that step. filing for the TRO ( temp rest ord) can usually get into court within 24 - 72 hrs, if they decide it's not an emergency, they can still calendar you for a hearing within 30 days, allowing you time to give him proper notice. usually if you are rec'ing public asst, (welfare) filing these documents can be free, also sometimes having them served on him for you by the local Marshall's office, so file for a "fee waiver".
go to your local dept of Public services, file for cash aid, food stamps, and your states medi-cal plan. the DA's office will automatically pursue an order of support, so that the county gets reimbursed, if the order of support is higher than the cash aid, drop the cash aid, keep the food stamps, they have nothing to do with the support order, we use child/spousal support as income in a food stamp budget, but the DA's office will give it directly to you if you don't have a cash aid case. take the higher dollar. this can offer you some protection.

Yes, he is responsible. My sister in law has been married but not with the father of her child for 8 years now. She started collecting within 6 months. You should take it to court now so you can get the process started. Good Luck!

Well i can tell you from experience and heartache first thing you need to do is go apply for custody of your kids and support or else he can rip them from you and take you for support. I would also recommend looking for a job so he doesnt use the "She can support the kids so they are better off with my" card.
I have been through it and my son is with his daddy cause i wasnt working (even though i was living with family and fully supported) and i was going to college full time...
I am telling you though hun you need to go get custody of those kids or he can take them from anywhere school and all and never tell you or let you see them till a judge makes him and it took me over a year to even get visitation of mine.
Be smart beat him to the punch...
And yes If he is no longer living with you you can get support and help....

Of course he is liable. If your kids stay with you, he needs to pay child support until they each turn 18.

Yes he owes you child support he may have left but he still has three kids to take care of whether he wants to or not.

Yes, he is still responsible for child support. You need to go to your Department of Social Services and tell them your situation. They will help you. As long as he doesn't refuse to pay, you shouldn't need to go to court.

he is so liable for child support and depending what state you live in even spousal support. you left your employment to open a business with him and quit your job to raise your children. file for child support as soon as possible.
