My wife and I are married for 2 years, going thru divorce. No kids, no joint home, and no prenup. My wife has student loans she took prior to us getting married but refinanced them during marriage - I am not a co-signer or guarantor. I am not listed on her loans at all. Additionally, I have a sum of money I inherited prior to marriage.

1. Do the loans stay under her responsibility?
2. Do I keep my inheritance money?

Living in Miami, FL

Did you use the inherited money when you were married ? If it was not used then it is protected I think but if not it might be considered marital assets. Contact a lawyer though to be sure

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?
