[size="4"]I would like a separation from my husband of 27 years of marriage. I am a housewife of 24 years now. I and my children have suffered emotional abuse for years. My husband is a compulsive hoarder and it is getting worse day by day, and he refuses to move things and throw things out that are broken. It's gotten so bad that we can't let any one in our Apartment. When things get broken no one can come in to fix it. I have 3 children, 24 years, 20 years and 15 years old. My youngest is currently being home schooled due to illness. I can't afford a lawyer, what are my options? It is not healthy for him to be living here anymore. He is irresponsible with the finances so we are always worried about bills not being paid. I have asked if I can help with shopping for the groceries and the like, and he said that he has taken care of this for 27 years and that's that. We also don't have a phone, which is a form of control. Thank you in advanced for your answers. I meant to mention that about $12.000 was taken from 2 different bank accounts of my husbands due to delinquency in filing the state taxes for 2006. He still hasn’t paid it yet. And I found information that says that I am an innocent spouse. I didn’t know that he didn’t pay it until he said that there would be no Christmas this year.
