What should I do about my husband's denial of the third divorce, and his refusal to financially support me after he said to me "You are divorced" in front of people, knowing that he was married عرفياً (orally/informally) before this divorce?

If a wife is divorced three times, she becomes irrevocably separated (baynunah kubra), and it is not permissible for the husband to take her back unless she marries another husband in a genuine marriage, not one intended to make her permissible (tahlil). If the second husband divorces her, then it becomes permissible for them to remarry. The husband's denial of the third divorce or his being in an unregistered customary marriage does not change anything regarding this matter. Financial support () is not obligatory for the wife from him after the irrevocable separation.
