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.

That's a really funny question, but i have the answer:Compulsive liars don't always lie anyways, so if your friend or someone you know says that, and blah blah blah, you can sometimes know when (if) they say that.
You should be sure that the gambler is going willingly. Nothing will change if they do not want to change themselves.
Your lawyer should have sent you the paperwork showing the divorce as completed. The divorce paperwork is a public record and is available to anyone down at the courthouse too.
I know that it's annoying to have both OCD and ADHD

Talk to your attorney. You should be able to file for divorce even if you can't find the other party. You, or your attorney will have to prove to the court that you made a sincere attempt to contact them but it shouldn't stop the divorce

Well I think you should pick the gambler and vice versa. With such ready labels, it is obvious that the "good men" are repelled by the need to classify them. Perhaps it is not so important to know someone else's flaws, but to be more aware of your own?
Compulsive behavior is behavior that is triggered by an irrational cause such as checking to see if all the doors in your house are locked even though you know you already locked them all.
If you have both given your all at the relationship and it is not working, and you are miserable, you should end it. Also, if any mental illness or cheating or abuse is involved.
