Re: where do i stand
The first question with regard to sorting this out is whether or not your marriage can continue. I would not wish to push you towards divorce but you must appreciate that this is the only way that you can obtain any restitution of the monies she has taken. If you are to remain unmarried you must take your wife as you find her. Should you divorce this is the sort of conduct on her behalf which is likely to affect the financial settlement.
Let us know if we can help further once you have considered the position.
