I am going to divorce my husband of 27 years. He did not take care of himself, and has caused all of his health issues. He is almost bed-bound. I can not move him about, and our 20-year-old son needs to feel he can leave home once his training is complete. There has been verbal abuse from him. I am just plain tired. I still work full-time, and he is on partial disability from his work due to hospital stays. We started with a dissolution, so when our health insurance couldn't cover all of his needs, he would qualify for other benefits. I found out accidentally that he has run up his credit card bills and has been participating in online gambling (where you bet on whether someone will be elected or whether a person will make a speech in Congress). I am done. I am filing, and I have a good attorney. The question is getting him out. Has anyone been through something similar? I am just trying to prepare. I don't hate him. I am just really, really disappointed. I just wonder how I will actually get him out. I am willing to pack his stuff and unpack it before I walk away.
We cannot know the details.
You have been married for 27 years. Your husband is likely part owner or on the deed of your home? You will likely need a forced sale of the home, which typically happens in a divorce. When assets are divided your husband will likely be using his toward his care.
Whatever the details are for you, we aren't privy to them nor are we legal experts. I wish you best of luck.
Wishing you well in this. I'm glad you have work and, presumably, financial stability of your own.
You seem to be assuming that he will leave, you will stay in the house, and your problem is “how to get him out”. Remember that the outcome of the divorce may be different.
