It is a bit mind boggling that we have been married over 19 years, I was open about everything, never lied to her and yet now that she is leaving me, all of a sudden she accuses me of stealing from her? It is just becoming a bad comedy show now. I want to be angry, but I just find myself chuckling about it. Just crazy, simply silly.
This happened to me too. My WW of 18 years accused me of absconding $11K from our joint account. Never mind that she diverted her paychecks at the beginning of the year to her secret account and has not put in a single red cent since. The funds are 100% from my earnings that I used to pay our credit cards (I pay the balance every month, hence no debt). It's money that SHE also spent and she turns around and accuse me in a filing of stealing it. It's a ridiculous claim especially since the funds were disbursed before she filed, so the ATRO doesn't cover it.
Not sure if you already consulted with a L already but you should. If she is already starting down this path before filing, be sure to protect yourself.
