I have a close family member, who is a young married man with two young kids....he's a wonderful young man, but got hood-winked into marrying an air-headed, bipolar, selfish, suicidal winch....matter of fact, she is currently in therapy for the first time, in another part of the state for a few weeks....this is what has prompted him to consider divorce, and is just exploring his options, so he asked my opinion about preparations.
He has finally decided that he just can't take it, anymore, and is considering divorce. With his wife's previous mental conditions, he will probably be awarded the kids.
She has been on full disability for about two years....I do realize she has both mental and physical problems, and am somewhat sympathetic in that regard, but she has brought a lot of her problems on herself....personally, I have always thought she was just lazy, and wanted the young man to wait on her hand and foot.
I know some of you guys have been there and done that, so I'm looking for some advice for him.
Financially, is there anything that he can start preparing for, so that she doesn't take every dime that he's worked for???
