What is the name of your state?Florida
My husband and I signed a post-nuptial agreement after our marriage in 1977. In it we listed all assets and debts we were bringing to the marriage (I had all the assets - he had only debts). He went to Ohio from 2/97 to 12/97 to work for his brother with the understanding that he would clear those debts. I owned my home and he made no contributions to the household during that time. Until recently, his name was not on a bank account or telephone account here in FL nor did he have credit cards. However, within the past month he has received notices from 3 collection agencies for outstanding debts totalling approximately $45,000. This is more than he originally admitted to owing.
The home, the two vehicles and all investments are in my name and were paid for by me with my own money and money that was left to me by my mother, with the exception of an IRA for $7,000 that I put in his name. We have one joint account that is used for checking.
I would rather lose him than lose my assets. Based on the fact that he lied on the post-nuptial agreement about his debt, do I have grounds for divorce/annullment with no payouts to him?
We are both in our late 50s and there are no children involved.
