[quote=Anonymous]OP may have more control over the kids as the situation stands, but she has LESS control over her financial future if she stays married. Her husband can keep taking out debt and pissing away any equity/assets they have + put them in more debt. If OP gets divorced, the divorce is a hard-stop on the damage the husband can do to her share of the equity/assets. If the husband lives for another 5 yrs., and then dies, OP could have zero assets + marital debt. If OP gets out sooner and the husband lives 5+ years, then OP can at least have full control over half of the assets left at the time of divorce. He can't screw those away from her and the kids. If the husband is likely to die relatively soon (i.e. 6 mos? 12 mos?) it's better to stay married. But it really depends on how much damage he can do financially to OP while he is alive... and how long he's actually alive and capable of creating debt.[/quote]
