My ex-husband is getting out of prison in a few months, and I have agreed to let him live with me. He is unable to work due to mental health issues and will be applying for disability, which will take a couple years to complete. During that time, I will be covering all of his expenses, as he has no money, car, or family members to help him.Once he gets approved for disability, he will get back pay, which could total more than $20,000.
has an extensive amount of resources to help those looking to rehabilitate into society. I’d recommend reaching out to any from your state that you think could be helpful.As for the amount you could ask him to cover, I would examine your grocery and utility bills and figure out the how much the costs increase once he’s living with you. Your mortgage is fixed, but your utilities and food bills are not, so those feel like a fair metric to use.
