You should close any account that is a joint account and open your own accounts, in your own name now, to establish your credit.  If your husband took cash advances, make it clear that payment on those cash advances comes from him from the beginning. Ask to have the credit cards on which the cash advances were taken put into his name alone to protect yourself.  Make sure to obtain copies of the statements showing the cash advances, and if possible, have him acknowledge that the cash advances went to him.  Good Luck !

Thank you for your question. I understand your concerns as it relates to a divorce. This State recognizes “no fault” divorces meaning that the cause for divorce is not the fault of either party. In order to be divorced in NJ all that needs to be proven is that there has been six months of irreconcilable differences that caused the breakdown of the marriage. In essence, one spouse simply needs to prove that there has been differences between the parties and that it is unreasonable to continue as husband and wife. As a result, a divorce is imminent if another party files. However, there are a number of issues that need to be resolved in a divorce such as distributing marital assets and liabilities, custody (if there are children), support, and other items of importance. Based on your circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns. I hope this information was helpful to you.
