Dear 2ndtimearoundnotacharm:
Greetings. That name of yours is sure a mouth-full. LOL Now, to your question:
First, I know that you may be tempted to call the humane society against your spouse, but I would allege that his behavior is probably more of a cry for help (I could be wrong, but I bet he feels the same or a similar gaping hole in the relationship).
You are right to be worried about him filing for bankruptcy, even with the new laws taking effect. Without him refinancing or assuming the debt, or you selling the item, you will not be able to take your name off the loans.
Make sure he knows what you are willing to give him, before you leave. If he does not know, then tell him that you plan on selling everything to get the most out of what you have. That would also solve the debt issue.
I am sorry to hear about your dilemna, but if you need help knowing exactly what the outcome will be, don’t hesitate to set up an office consultation with us. Thank you.
