Thanks to each of you for your love and support.

Louisiana is a "no vault" divorce state. My atty is the President of the Domestic Counsel for my home Parish (that's county for y'all) so I do have a very qualified atty.

The laws in my state and many of yours do not care about right or wrong - addict/alcoholic or sober. Basically they take the assets of the marriage and split them half & half. Because I make more money than he does on paper - he is entitled to spousal support.

Fair or not fair - doesn't really matter. All that matters to a Judge is black and white. The drug addiction/alcoholism is not an allowable factor in this state because of the NO FAULT divorce.

I will be meeting with my atty next week - of course we will try to counter offer to see what we can do - but bottom line is there is a good possibility that there is nothing to protect me or any of YOU from this situation.
