    You seem to be leaning toward the former.
    No, not at all - I'm not leaning toward the former or the latter because right now I don't know whether he is guilty or not. Hence, my reason for first coming to this site - to seek advice about what to do when you have some evidence and it looks suspicious, but you don't really know what is going on. Who do you turn to, what do you do - that's my original question and concern. I can't phatom even thinking about divorce or what I will ultimately do until I know what he is up to, which definitely could be embezzlement or nothing at all. I realize if he is guilty of embezzlement that will surely impact our personal assets and we also have children I have to think of as well, so those are all decisions that would have to be made down the road when I know what is ACTUALLY going on, but how do I find that out? Hence, my problem and question to those who visit this site. Does that make sense?

    Try to find a multi-disciplinary practice, with both divorce and criminal defense lawyers on staff, or a lawyer who practices in both areas.

    Question Re: Embezzlement

    I would still like to hear from anyone who might read this post who has been through a similar experience with a spouse, relative or friend. It is very frightening to think of someone close to you doing something so bad as embezzling and I have no idea what lies ahead of me. So if anyone out there has had a similar experience I would love to hear from you.

    Okay, I talked to an attorney today about my situation and I need to know if this sounds right. He told me my only recourse really is to divorce my husband if I want to protect myself. In a nutshell this is what he said: If my husband is ever caught, I can be charged as well no matter what, but if I think I have knowledge that he might be embezzling and I don't do anything about it I would definitely be charged. Whereas, if I divorce him and get away from the situation, if he is ever charged this is much better for me and my daughter because as soon as I thought he was doing something wrong I took action and removed myself from the situation, therefore, I would probably not be charged. He advised me not to tell my husband I suspect him of embezzling because he might try to do something stupid like harm me to shut me up. I need some feedback to tell me is this sounds like good advice. I am very upset at the moment because I don't know what reason I'm supposed to come up with for suddenly divorcing my husband if I decide to do that. Is this really my only recourse?

    Hi "Panther 10758" and thanks for replying. I just have one question and I asked my attorney this also. Isn't this a really drastic approach. I mean, what am I supposed to tell my husband? I just come up one day and tell him I want to divorce him and he's going to say "why?" I can't tell him the truth, but I've got to tell him something. My attorney assures me there is no other alternative but to remove myself from this situation because he believes eventually he will get caught. And he strongly advised me against telling him the real reason because he said that's how women come up missing, murdered, etc. after they find out their husbands are embezzling or doing something illegal, they tell them and the husband panics. So you still think this sounds like the reasonable and appropriate thing to do?

    If you want to protect yourself and your asset then yes this is best move. Far as telling hubby well not to be rude but thats your problem. You can leave while he is out and have process erver serve him or you can tell him the truth regardless it wont be a pleasant circumstance sorry
