Taylor, I have very little contact w/my xh and do not wish to have any more than that. He married his affair partner and I suspect it's not a happy one just by some things he has slipped up on saying. His journey actually started in 1998 and he's still stuck, as far as I can tell.
What I did to protect the assets:
1. I contacted the credit card companies and advised them I had lost our joint credit cards. I requested that the balances be transferred to new accounts and had new cards issued. I did this after he stuck me with two huge bills on two cards. I eventually paid off the balances and cut up the cards.
2. I removed half of what was in the checking and savings accounts to new accounts in my name.
3. Whatever utilities that I could change into my name, I did it.
4. I set up a new auto insurance plan in my name only and removed my name from the joint one.
Does this now give you an idea of how to protect yourself?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
