Hello Opinion8ed,

Thanks for the information you have been sharing... As per the above, our advice to our son after he got out of the hospital (8 days of fighting for his life due to a disease that hit him and almost took his life), and after he returned home only to have his wife leave him and their two children the next day so that she could be with her boyfriend/drug supplier was...
1. Get a legal separation to protect yourself (she could go berzerk using the family finances and wipe you and the children out, plus put you in debt) & get custody of the children she has abandoned
2. Get us every bit of financial paperwork you have so that we can start crunching numbers for you, and such that you can offer an equitable split with all numbers clearly on the table
As much as all of us, emotionally, and our son (and we who were supporting him while he was trying to survive and stay well to take care of his children), might have felt like any woman (person) who could do what she did deserved nothing, there are community property laws.
Our son wanted to make sure that finances were split equitably, we agreed. He needed to move on to a.) safe guarding his life and healing so that b.) he could care for the most precious commodities -- two little children abandoned by an alcoholic, drug addicted mother who had gone off the deep end.
I do not know the circumstances of the father/son/wife -- I only know that I could never have counseled my son to be anything less than equitable and just get away from the problem before it destroyed more lives.
