From Illinois:
My sister's husband left the country and is not coming back. He left her with a lot of credit card debt, mortgage on the house that barely has any equity and that she alone cannot afford. How can she protect herself and her kids financially while she is trying to file for a divorce from her absentee husband? All property is in both their names, so until divorce is finalized, she can't even sell the house or refinance it. What can she do? What if he continues to use his credit cards overseas? How can she protect herself from that potential additional debt?
Thanks
