Re: Wife put me in debt.
If you and your wife get involved in a divorce proceedings and a fight over division of marital property, you can show through your records that she wasted joint assets as you described. The judge has the duty to make a fair and equitable distribution of marital property, and in doing so can take into consideration whether one spouse has taken advantage of the other in this way.
