What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
A series of surprise, possibly criminal, financial improprieties caused my friend to leave her husband after a 30+ year marriage. She left without ANY assets. She has been legally separated for many years but does not believe in divorce for religious reasons.
Once separated she filed for bankruptcy. 5 years later, she is back on her feet and wishes to purchase her first home. Our concern is that despite the separation and bankruptcy, without a divorce, she may still be liable for whatever else this man may have gotten himself into in the years since or hereafter.
Is she adequately protected and able to move on?
Thanks.
