My mother is in a mess! Ok, she had a "ceramony". Some sort of native american thing that was all very confusing. That was in 2001. All of thier friends know them as husband and wife. He owns 25 acres of land and a house and such. During thier marriage they managed to spend loads of money! Now, ofcourse, there is conflict. She was asked to start living in the trailer they have next to the house. The trailer they bought. Now there is talk that its time for her to move off the property. Now he has told her that all the debts, including credit cards, morgage, and such, are her responsability. Now, what I'm amazed at is the bills are all, ALL, in his name. That includes the morgage. There is something like $300,000 in debts. Legally, is she entitled to some sort of divorce settlement, or anything like it? I know that she should just walk away from him completely, but she, in some misguided way, believes that she is responsible for the debts, and will stick it out to pay them off! Apparently there are only 2 bills, the credit card and the morgage, so there is no way to prove that his 2 new cars, the home improvements, or any of that is in that bill. I understand that she feels obligated to pay her portion, but surely she needs to just walk away. I know that was long winded, but im not sure what else to add. Thanks.
