I don't know your situation fully, but from what you wrote, it appears you may be on the outs with your W. You can protect yourself for any future wealth by filing for divorce or legal separation now though. I know in my marriage now, whatever either of us do to make money or acquire assets, it is a joint effort, same with debt. So in our situation it is a fair thing now. |
During my marriage, it was also my ex-husband who was the gold digger.
During the marriage I had supported him through most of it and covered most of his costs for going to medical school, residency, etc.
I tried to get everything and leave me with nothing. It did not work. In my case the court system helped. He had a costly team of 4 attorneys. I had one. I insisted that everything that was community property be divided 50/50. He tried to hide assets and get everything that was not hidden as well.
