I am married to a man who has not worked for 6 or 7 years and who has contributed very little if anything to the household expenses. Because of this I have become responsible for family debts of $50,000 and during the past 4-5 years incurred about another $5000 trying to juggle the mess. I am the only one with a full time job, earning about $100K but under the circumstances have nothing to show for it. 5-6 years ago this man had health issues, but is totally capable of contributing 'something' financially. But he does not feel threatened at all. Guess he is after my pension and support, if and when I leave.
Q. will I have to actually support this deadbeat of a person if I file for divorce? or will a judge have some mercy and look at who has contributed what to the marriage over the years, then look at the debts to be paid, and call this man responsible for something?
what direction might this take? Can anyone offer me some advice?
