I need some quick input here. Please help me here.
Since my W decided to walk out on me and our family and now it seems all her financial responsibilities also.
We have yet to discuss any financial arrangements. Since she walked out I have been giving her her mail (mostly credit cards in her name)....one of my biggest issues with her when we were together was her lack of financial responsibility. She always felt I concentrated on our finances too much and I stressed about it, but I felt like I handled all the burden as the sole provider (her business did not add much to the household over the few years it has been open) and also the one that paid all the bills. She had several cards, but one that she claimed was for her business, so she wanted to manage that one. I was reluctant, but trusted she would handle it. Well, she mismanaged it and missed several payments over time (not consecutively) and eventually the rate was jacked to 30%!!!!!!!!!!! I was VERY disappointed and I let her know that.
Anyways, I have really tried to pay down our credit cards over the last couple years and tried not to use them anymore. She continued to use them which I was not happy with. This really created more resentment for me and it made it really hard for me to "love" her the way I wanted to.
Well, it now looks like she isn't making any of her credit card payments (which probably add up to around $500/mo). Does everyone think that I should offer to make these payments for her since we have yet to determine any child support?
PLEASE I NEED HELP QUICK! I will meeting her today to give my son back to her and I just opened another cc bill and saw that she missed a payment (a different card). I don't know if she is possibly persuing bankruptcy or some other means to try to pay these cards.
