[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

I have an appointment with a lawyer.  I'm not really considering divorce.  I married someone in sickness or in health, and he's clearly sick.  But it may get to the point where it makes sense for me and my kids to live separately.

But I need a break, and my kids need a break, and this is a chance to get that.  Ironically, the family member is his, not mine.[/quote]

Realize that your husband may hear some sweet thing or a therapist advising divorce as the cure to all that ails him. In that case you divorce will consider you.

If his mental illness is at a point where he cannot manage his affairs, or you want to keep your money safe from him spending $250k or some huge for you amount on ... stuff, an attorney is essential, if only to have on call in case things do spiral worse for him.

Also consider that the Catholic Church permits civil divorce, but will not allow re-marriage. A civil divorce may, sadly, be the best way of protecting your property, your children, etc.

Catechism 2383: "If civil divorce remains the only possible way of ensuring certain legal rights, the care of the children, or the protection of inheritance, [then] it can be tolerated and does not constitute a moral offense."

If you're not Catholic or any form of Christian then at least consider this a moral argument. [/quote]

Wow, gotta hand it to the Catholics to find a way to bend the rules to allow the money to continue to flow.  “Civil divorce” sanctioned by the Church.  Incredible.  [/quote]

There is and has always been a difference between civil marriage/divorce by the State and the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage. Catholics need one for the State and one for the Church. The church actually doesn't care what the State does vis a vis marriage and divorce. People don't seem to understand this distinction. [/quote]
