Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My wife and I are getting a divorce. She texted me saying that she went to the doctor and she could get hip replacement surgery in a few weeks and wanted to know if she should go ahead because it will less cost to do it know versus next year. What obligation do I have to help pay for this surgery?

You have no obligation to pay for her hip surgery. However, her health and inability to work are factors to consider in evaluating alimony and property division. If you are contemplating divorce you should not take on any "unnecessary" debt. There are other issues to consider that are too numerous to discuss on this forum. If you wish, contact me to discuss in greater detail.
