[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok again, he is literally homeless though _ his disability benefits are being used to fund a home he's not allowed to live in and  he has been hotel_hopping since Friday.

He is on day 2 of intensive outpatient program _ I don't want to enable but do people really advise just cutting bait and hoping he figures out a place to stay? Better to tough love him and hope he gets the picture or help him find a sublet etc? Also how does one get their money back from spouse in this situation? Both names on lease etc.[/quote]

You lost me at “money back from spouse” - are you saying that since he’s not “allowed” to stay at the house and is incurring hotel costs, the wife should pay him hotel costs? Or that she has to buy him out of the lease? Or that he will continue to pay half the monthly rent (as a lessee) and wants that money back? If that’s the case, it sounds like they are headed towards separation or divorce. There’s more on the marital problems front going on than just the financial difficulties and MH treatment part. Is your gut telling you they will divorce? [/quote]
