I am going through a divorce and I am afraid my ex may have taken out credit cards in my name. What can I do?

My husband has a domestic violence protective order (DVPO) on me based on scratches he self-inflicted. He was given possession of our house.

I just read about something that might work in my upcoming separation and divorce. I have two children who are ages eight and ten. We have to sell the marital residence for my husband and me to each buy separate residences.

I am worried about my child’s travel outside the United States this summer. The father, who was born in India, wants to take our child to India. I think travel is a wonderful education, but the child is only six, and I have more concerns than I can write.

My ex and I have a court order regarding alimony to be paid to me every month for a specific period of time. Between 2012 and 2015, he did not pay me any alimony.
