My Story -- Advice for a Left Behind Spouse

[PortlandDad]

The counsel that I received (and boy do I wish I would have received it earlier) was to split the finances asap. Let her have the responsibility of managing her own money right now, before the D comes. By continuing to handle the daily finances, you are shielding her from that responsibility.

Also, if you haven't done it already, you should get a consultation with a L. Most will do a free initial consult and give you some good legal advice for the state and city where you live.

Peace.
