<prompt> Human: My wifes friend was left today by her husband, I dont want to get into the problems of their relationship and will leave it at that he was unsupportive of her returning to school for her nursing license. They have three school-age children and as of right now the husband does not seem inclined to assume responsibility for them, putting the pressure on her to drop from the program to provide for herself and their children. She was completely dependent on her husband and has no bank account or financial independence since he handled all the money and theyve been together since they were teenagers. She has some employment history but has been a stay-at-home mom for some years now that has recently decided to get her nursing license. The school is currently on a holiday break so she has a few days to put a plan together but my wife feels that if she drops from the program now, it is unlikely that she will return. Neither my wife nor her friend are active on reddit so I offered to ask PF for advice on what she absolutely needs to do, and what you all feel her best options are moving forward. Any advice is of course very appreciated.EDIT: She knows shell need to see a lawyer about the separationdivorce, but right now she is just looking for advice about her current financial situation which is pretty much non-existent.EDIT: Thank you all for the advice, Ill relay your excellent suggestions.  <response>: EDIT: She knows shell need to see a lawyer about the separationdivorce, but right now she is just looking for advice about her current financial situation which is pretty much non-existent.The advice is still get a lawyer.
