Please my friend as the voice of experience - go seek the advice of any attorney as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My story is the horror story of filing for divorce with an addict/alcoholic ~ especially if you live in a community property state!
(if you want to know the horrid details you can search my past post- but I won't hijack this thread & go into details)
Mostly, I would recommend no matter how "nice" he may say he is going to be ~ please seek professional advice and someone that truly knows the law in your area! Better to protect yourself NOW than to say oh I wish I would have!
PINK HUGS & prayers for the very best as you go thru this painful experience! But Hang in there - there is Peace, Joy & Freedom on the other side!!
