Re: Divorce

Make certain that you defend against the charges and allegations against you. But, try to Get over your anger, hurt and resentment about being duped. And, forget about "getting even" or obtaining retribution. Yes, Forget about it! Get short term counseling if you need help.

Then, (if you are really married?) divorce or annul your marriage, in your "home" state ASAP. Stay away from your "spouse" or anything that may be connected to her. In the interim, you might also need to formally put "the world on notice" that you are not responsible for her debts; especially if you are not actually married, but she is holding herself out, as your wife.

Get a lawyer.

Good luck,
