    My husband has been acting shady, and I'm done with it, what are my legal rights?
    My husband and I got married in Las Vegas 24 years ago. We have 3 teens, ages 20,18,&14. We own 3 properties together. My husband has had several affairs throughout these years, and I am sick of it! I've only stayed with him because of our children & financial stability. Unfortunately, we've noticed several changes in the past 5 months, including financial stress, his behavior and he's been spending on himself. For example, he's recently signed up for the gym, watched his diet, bought a whole new (expensive) wardrobe, yet has come short on the bills. Why does he care so much about his appearance all of a sudden. My children and I have all caught him acting shady, and I'm worried about the consequences it will bring upon them. If I was to walk out on him soon, and take the children what would the legal consequences be? Would I still have the rights to our properties and/or home? /:

    What exactly was your first hint ? You name several that put up red flags. I would suggest do not pass go, and get a lawyer to explain your rights. Legal rights are determined by the state you live in and circumstances, which are many.

    Let me see as long as there was plenty of money and all the bills were being paid, it was OK that he was cheating,

    Now that money is tight and bills are hard to pay, his cheating is wrong and you want to divorce?

    But many things, first he has reached mid life, most likely he has a few friends or classmates that have died, having to guess his age,? 45 maybe,

    So he has decided he needs to be and act young again.
    ** I am sorry, I just went a bought a new wardrobe today myself, because I have lost about 4 inches off my waist because of diet and exercise. And it does not mean I am cheating, it means I decided to try and take care of myself.

    But if you want to divorce, you hire a divorce attorney and file,

    Yeah, he was cheating. I caught him, he admitted it. Looks like your first instinct is almost always right huh.

    That was what you asked eight months ago. Are you still thinking about separation or have you walked out already?

    To answer the question, whether you do so would not significantly affect your property rights.
