Case of the Week 2/16/07

Client's Age: 62
County: Mason

Client has been married for over 35 years and her husband has become a problem gambler. She never earned a paycheck and wanted to know what would happen if they divorced regarding income, assets, and the debts he has been accumulating which she suspects are significant. I explained that she will generally have a right to 1/2 of any pension he earned during their marriage, and half their marital assets, and could generally avoid being held responsible for debts that he incurred entirely in his name and entirely for his benefit.
