Name: 2fedup New Member   Title: drug abuser husband want 1/2 of everything

Is there anyway to get out of this marriage and keep what I have paid for? My husband is a drug abuser, don't work, don't help pay any bills. I work, own 8 houses which I rent out 6 of them. The property was brought during our marriage but it doesn't seem fair that I am the only one paying for them. Not to mention my credit card debt. What can I do to keep my rental house business, my house, cars etc. Or am I just out of luck.

It isn't up to you to decide what is fair and what is not fair. There is most certainly good reason for this as I can not think of a single soul who could, in true "fairness" decide the right amount that should be awarded to their significant other while divorcing them.

Was your husband active in his drug use when you married him? Have you attempted an intervention or talked with him about getting help for his addiction? I have found that everyone has an addiction of some kind or another and some addictions are most assuredly more dangerous than others, but with help many people can live a functional and fruitful life.

im just talking out of my ass here because i have no experance or knowlage to base my opinion on it but u might be able to settle with him outside of court. You would still have to pay him but he may take an offer of a one time lump sum payment amount thats less than the court would grant him just to save the hassle and time invoved with courts and then seling a house.VS. cash in hand right now that can continue feeding his habbit
