You get a job. If you have children, you force your spouse to pay child support plus 1/2 medical expenses pluschild care (try to get 100% since he wants the divorce) plus1/2 school expenses plus make sure your spouse keeps health insurance on the kids plus life insurance on himself in case he dies naming the kids beneficiaries. If you don't have minor children, you may be able to get the judge to award you "maintenance" (formerly known as alimony). Nowadays they only want to award it for a couple years until you get on your feet (after having been supported for 23 years).

Can your spouse stop paying bills because he wants a divorce?

Not sure what you mean here since if you are married the both of you are responsible for paying your bills. If he wants to mess with you you can start paying the bills. As married you should both have access to the money no matter who makes them. If he wants a divorce you can also not stop him. Maybe you should start thinking about getting a lawyer before the bills start piling up and you loose the house or something.

No. In Western countries a spouse cannot force their spouse to stay married. The divorce can proceed even if one party wants to stay married.

What legal options are available to a spouse to prevent a divorce from being granted?

United StatesI am an attorney who practices in family court. Most states are "no fault" divorce states in which you can merely assert that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" as a basis for a dissolution of marriage. Now, if the other partner answers the petition in writing to the court denying that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" the court may require the parties to undergo some marriage counseling to determine if the marriage can be reconciled before granting the divorce. However, judges will not force parties to stay married if the petitioning spouse still wants to dissolve the marriage.UKIf you apply for divorce and your spouse refutes it, most Judges accept your application irregardless of your spouse's response on the logic that if one person wants a divorce then the marriage is over.

I am married he is married We didn't mean to do it but we fell in love should we hurt others to be happy for ourselves?

Well if you are not in love with your spouse and you are "cheating" on your spouse it will no doubtedly come out and they will get hurt, whether you tell them now or later, does it really matter. If you are "in love" with someone other than your spouse that will mean that you are not even giving your spouse a chance in being happy anyway, because you are unhappy, and if you stay with your spouse eventually you will resent them for your unhappiness, and who wants to live that way? I say be honest not only to your spouse but to yourself, if you stay in your marriage...nobody will be happy.
