<prompt> Human: Its looking like my wife and I are going to be getting a cordial divorce. I recently complete a stint in rehab after a nasty addiction, and lets just say things are not going well. I racked up signifcant debt over the course of my addiction. I relapsed and things are getting bad again. After some discussion, we have decided that divorce is probably a good idea, all things considered, for the sake of our son, and she is pregnant and due soon. I am worried about my debt. I do not want her to have to deal with it or be liable for it. I lost my job and there is a good chance I will not be able to make the payments, even with a job. If I default on my debt credit card debt, will she be liable for my debt? Even though we are getting divorced, I hope she is safe from my creditors and able to be financially secure to provide for our children.Assistant: Update. First, thank you all so much for the kind words. People have no idea how much that means. 2nd. I am going to be transferring all balances to new cards and continue paying them down. After another go at rehab I will be getting a very small apartment and we will be getting divorce lawyers. We still love each other very much and understand that we are currently not able to live together. It is a good environment for our children, and not a good environment for my recovery. I cant be a father if I am dead. Thank you again  <response>: Might be worth looking into a sober living house when you complete rehab. My husband and I went through this same situation due to his alcoholism. Decided to separate and he went to live in a sober house. Rent was affordable, there were rules had to attend AA and have a sponsor, had to have a job, etc. After 6 months of living there we started marriage counseling. Were back together and hes celebraring 3 years sober in November. Good luck to you! I wish you the best, there is hope :
