I am a SAHM, too. So far, my H and I still pay all the bills out of our joint checking account. My H has filed and, if he stops paying, we will have to go to court to get a maintenance order for him to continue. This is my understanding of how it works in my state. So, she may have to go file to get that maintenance if you "cut her off". I don't think you want her to file for D….
Also, I don't think it would endear you to her with thoughts of reconciliation if you do that…..that's not to say she shouldn't work. I am back substitute teaching and studying for my tests to update my teaching license. If she goes ahead with the D, she will eventually have to work. I am not sure how you would broach that subject though. Maybe some vets will have some better advice on that? I did it of my own accord….
