[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you want a joint account? My husband and I have separate and joint accounts, and our paychecks go into our separate accounts (out of which we pay for our separate credit cards and any items that relate to us), and then we put most of them into our joint account out of which we pay for the mortgage, food, and anything related to the kids and family (also pets).

This whole scenario sounds super weird. He says he doesn't need to pay for anything for your child?!? Also, what do you mean by triple figures, because it literally means he makes in the hundreds... I assume you mean six figures, like he earns $100K or more?[/quote]

I wouldn't get a joint account with this man. He'd spend OP's money on his older daughter.[/quote]

My point was that my husband and I have our paychecks go into our separate accounts. Then we can each pay our separate liabilities out of those and our joint stuff is all paid by the joint account, into which we each deposit an agreed upon amount that covers mortgage, joint credit cards, tuition, nanny, etc. So the husband's money he spends on his daughter would come out of his separate account.

In any event, OP's subsequent posts have shown that this marriage is effed up and this guy couldn't care less about the daughter actually living in his house (nor the one who doesn't live in the US since he decided to leave her and her mom when she was three months old). Hopefully OP has her name on everything and she doesn't quit her job because it sounds like this guys will walk out on her at some point as well.[/quote]
