Despite your wife's "ism", she is legally entitled to a share of the matrimonial property upon divorce, to do with as she pleases. One of my best friends is a Judge, and he has confirmed this to me. IN my part of the world, it is black and white. Certainly addiction is still grounds for divorce, but the addict does not 'loose' property rights. There for, the courts would see any attempt of your to withhold assets would be viewed as hostile on your part and you would end up paying the legal bills from your share of the assets.
