Can my husband take all financial support out of the household if he is under a no-contact order?

Since being granted a no-contact order against my husband, he has opened a new bank account and has basically taken all financial support away from the household where his daughter and I live. Is there anything I can do to prevent everything from being shut off and my house being foreclosed on?

"No contact" is VERY DIFFERENT from"no support".  Of course there is something that you can do about it and you need to act quickly for many reasons.  First, are you intending on filing for divorce?  Then I would seek help from an attorney sooner rather than later.  The attorney can start proceedings to establish temporary custody, child support, temporary spousal support and a temporary order as to all the other types of payments that need to be made.  It will also establish - if applicable here - temporary visitation with your daughter.  If you feel that you can not go to an attorney at this point in time, then go to your local Family Court to get this done now.  You can do this in most states on your own.  But get help as soon as possible.  Good luck.
