    Default Rights When Divorcing a Gold Digger

    My question involves marriage law for the State of: MN

    I will not go into details about my situation, as I am sure that any man (or women on the other end of the stick) can relate. I am not sure if the "law" considers them to blame or both or the "too-bad-too-sad" situation applies.

    However, our marriage is a disaster (now that I took off my "love" colored glasses). I have talked to several people about our 9yr marriage, and the majority of them ask the same thing ".. well why did you do that" or "why did you let her do that" etc..

    So my question is, I know there is no monetary compensation but doesn't this fall under "mental abuse"? So far the last year (when I lost my self employed job, she could not longer get money from me), suddenly I am worthless to her. Everything in the marriage has been stripped. and our present financial situation, made it not possible to get another vehicle without a co-signer (which will not happen).

    I cannot afford an attorney to do this, and my understanding is that in Minnesota, it is a no fault state, so from what I can gather, I do not need her signature to do the divorce.

    We have no kids or any property, and what we do have is either obvious what belongs to who or I could care less if it is gone.

    Even though I can (with some help from someone here) can pull the divorce, how does the law deal with someone like this. She has already gotten "friendly" with a elder gentleman who has been helping out. I don't like the situation at all and it feels wrong, as I am part of this guise of "... I am working for him" - all she does is bring him coffee and donuts etc.. and so far he has paid and "undisclosed" amout of money to help with the bills here - (this is not the first time she latches on to men when I cut her off) he pays her daily $10 - $20. but already the landlord had to call a check in because they are in fear of the "elderly abuse" situation that may be a concern.

    the majority of our livelihood is in my name (she has not credit, of course I have none now either), phones, cable, electric rent etc... even these days when she gets money, she just goes and spends it on whatever with the tune of "...we need ___________". I recently asked her to put some of that money aside to help with 2 of the bills, she said "... no i need that, your gonna have to figure something out"

    So I am lost. Are there others out there in this situation? If so how did you handle it. and more importantly, how did you get back on your feet?

    Thanks for reading

    PS. Just to be clear. I still hold myself responsible for any hardships. Yes I could have said no on numerous situations that occurred, but it is not that easy (example going to the hair salon with no moeny then call me and tell me to pick her up. upon arrival THEN I am informed I need to pay!). But still ... maybe there were things I could have done different, but I am not one to dwell on the past. I need to move forward.

    You don't get money because you decide you don't want to be married or because you think your spouse benefited too much from the marriage. Such is life.
