I am thankful that we have LS in California...my H amassed over $200,000.00 in debt! Let's see it started with a sporty lil' BMW!...then all new clothes, new guitar, new video game set up, new furniture, had to have a KING size bed even though we had shared a queen sized quite comfortably for years, had to have his own business, had to have cash advances because business was not making money...and more and more...2 car repo's and I don't even know how many court judgements against him... While we are back together I maintain the LS because without it they could start coming after me again...not to mention I have a child support judgement in place that allows me to collect child support directly from his checks...this prevents creditors from taking any money...at some point he will file bankruptcy but until he does I am protecting everything I have and my future! I think if I lived in a state that didn't allow a LS I would move to the nearest one, establish residency and file for a LS...if you can do that legally
