Hi Gail;
I have been down the same Road as you are on with my first wife.
She started listing to all her friends and relatives about this Divorce
thing, so like you, she blind sided me also. I had just built us a home,
Have a Mortgage, so she goes out and buys a new car, drains the bank
account, leaving me about 30% of the original amount, Then runs up
a big Credit Card balance.
GET A Lawyer, I am not sure of the laws in your country, but in the States
back a long time ago, I was up the tree with out a paddle.
We where divorced, Was paying off all the bills and giving her child support,
and not even having any money for food.
My folks let me dine with them a few days a week for over 4 years, until
I could start seeing my head come out of the water.
If I had a Lawyer from the start, She would have been liable for some of the bills.
Good Luck...... I know it is hard, but it is just best to walk away.
You will see in the long run that it was best.
