I have been married for over 25yrs- bailed out my husband may times due to drinking depression- rehab for drinking -coucelling for suiside- done it all. Every weekend he's good in the morning and drinks in the afternoon and either throws up while sleeping or sleeps the weekends away. I'm done! Want out
Any help will do -want to sell the house and move on.he does work and stays working during the week.I work part time but not enough to support myself
Had enough

You get an attorney and file for divorce. You should be able to get some spousal support at least until you can get a full time job.

So divorce him. No child custody to fight about, just the house? Shouldn't be too expensive. Start putting pennies away for the lawyer, or shop around for the lawyer now and pay out of your joint account. Sell the house, hopefully get half the proceeds, use that to buy a tiny condo for cash, and put in some more hours at work until you can collect SS. I got a no fault divorce for just the cost of the filing fee, which was $100 at the time. Copied someone else's divorce papers. Time in front of the judge: about 2 minutes, tops.

You will need to get a job to support yourself, even if ordered to pay, if he does not, all you can do is fight in court.
So divorce him, hire an attorney, file for divorce, in court they will decide who gets the house, or if it needs to be sold, who will get what split of the money.
