H has to file bankruptcy because during his time gone he managed to amass over $100,000 in debt...the sad part is he really has nothing to show for it except for a few projectors and a bose radio!!!
So I am all about filing for legal separation if only to protect yourself from the debt that is very possible...they get stupider then stupid....and dumber then dumb when they get into the full swing of MLC...not all...but a large number can do some real harm financially...and some....like my H...well they just go off of the deep end and really do it up good!...my only consolation is he probably won't have a credit card for many many many years....if ever!...but I did protect my credit...I ended up with about $17,000 of his debt accredited to me...he is just now paying that off but I have it down to $13,000 (doing this on limited income as a single parent who has never supported herself materially before is pretty good)...
