If my wife is charging up her credit cards am i responsible for that when we divorce

Are these joint cards?  Are they being used for the betterment or needs of the household?  What other debts do you have?  What assets are there? What is she spending the money on? Are there kids for whom there will be support?  Special needs dependents?  Who makes more money?  Has she relinquished a career or deferred education?  These are a few of the questions that need to be considered.  Considering what is happening, have you thought about taking the time for a free initial meeting with a lawyer to learn more? A lot of firms, like ours, also have affordable rates that may be a bargain compared to what your wife may be doing.
