You have been sleeping on your brother’s couch for more than a month and put through a major ordeal. Meanwhile your wife has been living at your house, with full access to bank accounts, driving around in your car. With you change to her existing lifestyle except you are not there anymore. It is time that she ‘gets some skin in the game’, in other words - she starts feeling what it would be like if you two were to divorce.
Specifically, my lawyer suggests that it would be entirely appropriate if I withdraw money from our shared business account to pay my brother ‘rent’. It would also be appropriate if I withdraw money from our shared business account to pay for legal fees - and, later, to put a deposit down on a new apartment for myself. It’s time that she starts feeling the divorce financially, basically.
I text her - ‘I will be withdrawing $1000 from our shared business account to pay my brother rent, I’ll label these transactions in the bank account’. So far, no response to this text. She probably won’t be pleased.
