In Pennsylvania.
Got married just 5 months ago and it's been a downward spiral since day one. Now, I'm looking to get out but save my financial a$$.
Anyway, I make around $100k/year and she makes around 25,000. My 17 year old son and her 14 year old daughter live with us in the house I bought alone a year before marriage.
My income goes to an account that I've had for over 7 years and out of that I pay the mortgage, my credit card bills, utilities, my personal 401k, and other odds and ends things.
Her income goes into a joint account and is designated for groceries, and hers and her daughter's spending. Out of that, she puts $600.00 per month into a joint account to cover her share for month to month bills for the household. I, basically, use that $600 a month for my personal allowance since I use my separate account (the one for mortgage payments and such) to actually make the payments for the utilities she's contributing to.
Is what I'm doing enough separation of funds for proving non comingling of funds to support the separate property requirement.
Now, because her mood has changed to almost "ah ha, I gotcha" I'm demanding a post nup to move on in this marriage. She is extremely irresponsible with money and makes my life a living hell because I isolate the necessary monthly bills from her access. This has become a non-stop confrontational bunch of crap that I have no intention of continuing for the rest of my life.
Now, the Post-nuptial is becoming the attack venue.
All that being said, if I were to just say "forget it" after only 5 months of marriage, what will that cost me? I hate to be so cold about it; but, as of this moment, I need to escape this mess I've gotten myself into and I really have been beaten hard.
Also, how do I get her out of the house to begin the 2 year separation for no fault?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe. It depends on your state's laws. the bottom line is that you may not get out of the marriage entirely whole. You will likely have to pay some "blood" money to get out quickly and relatively inexpensively when considering the cost of a contested proceeding. She would have an interest in some of the appreciation of the home, if any over the last 5 months and at least one half of any equity created by reducing the principal on the homestead mortgage over that period. .

JESUS...a 2-year separation is required? In what state? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I would contact an attorney on Monday, and find out what it takes to force her out of your house for separation. Are things really that bad after only 5 months, though?
