Is his control of the money part of the written agreement?? Hopefully, it is in an account in your name and you are receiving monthly statements and know what it is invested in. You may also be able to set up the trust in a place of your own choosing. If the funds are not in your name, call the local county attorney or the state attorney to find out what is true in your state.
Even in a trust, you should be able to arrange automatic payment for fixed expenses that come up every month so that they are paid on time. For the others, the trustee does have discretion.
If it is a number of years before you will be fully eligible for social security, you may want to consider obtaining a job to pay these bills and to be able to save the settlement for other situations. If you are using money left in trust for your children, definitely reduce your lifestyle and theirs to what you really can afford.

This topic must be made part of the negotiations for the divorce agreement.When there is mortgaged property that will be the subject of a divorce settlement, the mortgage MUST be part of the negotiations. Neither party can "take the other party's name off the mortgage". Each is legally obligated to the lender.Generally the settlement must include a clause that requires that the property be refinanced and the old mortgage paid off to release the party who will be transferring their interest in the property.If your attorney has not mentioned this important detail then you are not being well represented.

Do chapter 7 bankruptcy relieves you of a mortgage in a divorce but the spouse stills lives in the home?
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge your personal obligation to pay the mortgage, but it does not remove the lien on the property. Therefore, the mortgage lender can still foreclose on the home if the mortgage payments are not made. In a divorce, the issue of who is responsible for the mortgage payments would typically be addressed in the divorce settlement or court order.

If your ex husband files bankruptcy and you have a mortgage together that you have paid since the divorce and got in the divorce is this going to affect you?
Check with your divorce attorney for exactly how shared debts were apportioned in the settlement - but - if he filed for bankruptcy AFTER the divorce was final, no, it shouldn't affect you. I would, however, contact your mortgage company and notify them of the fact, unless it is stated otherwise in the divorce settlement, that he no longer has an "interest" in the house. The Deed and other legal home ownership papers should also reflect this as well. You had better check with your divorce attorney - all these things SHOULD have been taken care of at the time of the settlement. You may also want to get a copy of your credit report just to make sure that HIS debts, incurred AFTER the divorce, are not appearing on your record.

Do you have to pay off your spouse if you keep the house in a divorce?
It depends on the terms of your divorce settlement and distribution of marital assets. The settlement will be negotiated by your respective attorneys. If you cannot agree then the court will decide the division. Generally, if one spouse gets to keep the house, it is in exchange for some other property or entitlement such as future alimony. If there is a mortgage on the property it must be addressed prior to the divorce. The person who will be retaining the property should arrange to pay off the mortgage and refinance in their own name. As long as both names are on the mortgage both are equally responsible for payment even if one has transferred their interest in the property to the other by deed.
