Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I am in the Army stationed in another state. My wife decided she wanted to leave me because she was unhappy. I asked her to stay in the house until got home and if she still wanted to move out then I wouldnt try and stop her. Well she moved out anyway causing me to have to pay for all the bills. The mortgage is in both our names and I am the primary owner on the car loan...she is the Co-signer. What are my legal rights in the matter? Is ahe still responsible for half the bills and can I get my car back?

If you pursue a divorce, the Court will decide how to fairly divide all marital assets and liabilities. However, as far as your joint creditors go, you are both legally responsible for the debts in both names.
Assuming the marriage is over, you should pursue a divorce.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. If you are unable to schedule an in-office consultation, call either office to simply discuss the matter further.
