As long as you are married, his debt is your debt. You are both liable for any credit card balances, especially if they are joint accounts. If you have a joint bank account with him, he can clean out the money at any time. I don't believe you can sell jointly owned property unless both parties consent to the sale. These are all things you need legal counsel on. As soon as possible, I would open my own bank account that he cannot access and put at least half of the money from your joint account in your new account. Then, take your name off the joint account. Call the credit card companies and have your name taken off of any joint accounts. You will still be liable for any prior balances, but nothing he charges from the date you have yourself taken off. An addict can ruin you financially in a very short time.
