Divorce Question

My husband and I seperated on August 16 after 3 weeks of marriage. We do not have children. He is employed full-time and he also collects SSI and SSDI. I am currently unemployed. We incurred over $30,000 in debt during our marriage and prior when we were cohabiting. Though he was the one to walk out on the marriage and start the process of divorce, he is now asking me to pay half of bills for expenses that are his responsibility, such as a wireless phone bill which is soley in his name, and a gas card bill, and also expenses for hiring a moving truck to move our furniture out of the apartment we lived in. These were all expenses in his name and done because of his actions. I have taken on my share of the debt. I have not asked him for financial help. He has not supported me one bit in what we have that is in both our names, or my name alone. I now hear that he is seeking legal advice and may take me to small claims court. Do I have a case? Let me also mention, I have suffered emotional distress because of his leaving me. I am now unemployed but I was employed before our seperation. When we seperated I ended up in the hospital because of depression and anxiety, and have the hospital bill to prove it. It caused me to lose my job.
