Dear shell64:
Greetings. Yes, debt does include all debt during the course of the marriage regardless of whose name the debt is in. Yes, the truck is a mutual debt and asset. Since he left and spent money, all the money he spent (and debt he created) is all separate and you are not responsible for it. Get an attorney though, so that they can stop the money from bleeding out of the marriage, as once it is spent, how do you expect to get it back.
If stock was cashed in over the course of the marriage it is not figured, as it is gone by the date of separation.
I cannot understand your financial question with the numbers, it is not clear. Thank you.
