To divorce a compulsive gambler may take time. You should know the divorce laws in your state as this will impact your course of action. If it is community property, likely the debts are split 50/50 as well as the assets. Does your state have a caveat for "misappropriation" or "dissipation" of marital funds? In an equitable state, debts and assets are divided according to what is fair. You must know what your state laws are. Next, do some detective work. Gather all financial documents relating to debt, assets, retirement accounts. You may need to stay longer in order to reduce the debt but this is risky as the gambler may incur more debt. Consult with an attorney for advice specific to your situation and state laws. Put some money aside to engage an attorney, clean and organize your home and life, have a plan of action. Read and take notes regarding the divorce process in your state.
