Answer 1

Boy do your in laws and husband have a surprise coming when your husband is served with divorce papers! You absolutely can get a divorce. It is going to take some money, so start secreting away the attorney fees. The most important thing you need to do right now is look in the phone book for divorce attorneys and call a couple of them Usually an attorney will give you an initial consultation at no cost which consists mostly of telling you what you can and can't do and how much money he will need up front. If you don't feel comfortable with one, call another. Just hire someone - and keep all of this to yourself. If the attorney needs $1000 retainer, then get it from somewhere, even if you have to pay less on a few bills to gather the money. If you have a mortgage payment, call your lender and ask if you can just pay interest for a couple of months. Use the difference for your attorney fees. You need to get out of that situation before you get dragged down further. You have a strong case for getting most of what marital assets you now have and you may be able to get out of some of his debts. Don't listen to anyone that tells you you can't do this. Just do it. If you have joint credit cards, cancel them now and take out a new one in your name only. Same with joint checking account. You have to protect yourself. Obviously your husband and his family have no interest in your welfare. Take control.
