Let this happen. I need to know what to do from a legal standpoint so that I can protect myself. Thank you.
A: There are too many things that you must consider than to try to get any useful information on the internet. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney who can review your specific situation, answer questions, and advise you of your options and how best to protect yourself, such as filing for legal separation or divorce and also filing for spousal support payments from your spouse.
