    I am the caller in this segment. Thank you to everyone that offered heartfelt advice. I want to point out that the worry is not just that he will get ahold of the settlement money, but if he even finds out about it he will spend every dollar he contributes to their fixed income. This is a precarious situation. Addiction of all sorts touches every inch of a family.

    A divorce is not exactly the same thing as a legal separation, it is a separate decree the officially terminates the marriage decree but not necessarily the relationship, whereas a legal separation is a contract between the two parties (sometimes mediated or even court ordered) that stipulates certain conditions about the relationship. Typically it's when the relationship is in practice no longer spousal in nature however I wonder if such a legal separation can be written that only stipulates the financial status while both parties are still in a spousal relationship in all other aspects ? A good lawyer may knor, or perhaps there is zero consideration in all of legal history for such a thing.

    Addiction is everybody’s problem in the family. And those people need love as well. To be called degenerates or other names may be founded but it is very hurtful. All people with addictions are not terrible people but need love and help. A gambling addiction is known to be worse than a drug addiction. And Dave is right it does cause people to do things that they would not normally do. With that being said protecting I loved ones money is important. I hear the word divorce from you guys in this situation a whole lot and I think the root of the whole problem is he has a problem and it has become everyone’s problem.
