Common Law Marriage: Bank/Funds After Separation and Incarceration

I was in a 12 year relationship that resulted in 4 children (I am assuming this is common law) He was incarcerated for indecent liberties with my minor child.His funds that were deposited by him to MY account(this was not a joint account), it had been set up this way for several years by direct deposit there was also cash that had been deposited one to two weeks prior by him. He is now suing me in small claims court, for closing my account (After he had disclosed my banking information to unauthorized parties) I used the funds to pay bills and provide for our children as he had been the primary income in our home until then, and several things had accumulated because he had not taken care of them as I had assumed. Also he is incarcerated pending trial. I am a single mother of 5 children and pretty much clueless to legal proceedings of any kind. Any advice or laws I should know about? Your responses are very much appreciated.
