My husband basically stop paying all our bills and lost my home (he had nothing when we married) so he could open a restauarant. I was unaware until it was too late. He then drove off in our only vehicle one day without a word and didn’t come back. Left us stranded. he took my job away, lost my house left all the mess for me and thinks the restaurants his, has secured an rv and a place to live,is doing a remodel job, and I’m penniless. Yet everything bank accounts etc.at the restaraunt are in my name. Where do I start? He’s failed 4 business alreaady I don’t want to get stuck with any debts

I think it's time to get a good divorce lawyer and get to his or her office as fast as you possibly can. One place you can find a qualified attorney in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com
I'm not an Arizona lawyer, and the best way to find out what to do next is from someone who has all the facts of your case. But usually, filing a divorce complaint will cut off your liability for your spouse's debts from that point on. Plus, you need to file for child support to get it, right away, and that can all be done best by an experienced attorney.
