i saw the same thing. that less people are getting divorced because of the economy and not being able to afford it. i think the person on tv was advising though that if you are truly unhappy to go ahead and get out and pay for it later - can't put a price on happiness.

i learned my lesson about trying to use an attorney that i work with because obviously she didn't know what she was talking about. i took her word at face value and never pursued it.

apparently, you can file for a divorce while living in the same house and you don't even need the other person to agree to it. you will then be able to protect yourself from being responsible for their debt and encuring more on your own.

it is, in fact, smart- i think, to have everything legally in writing - who is responsible for what - before you move out. that way you will not get stuck paying for everything.
