My own wife took funds, too. There are rumors throughout our town that she's been having an affair but I don't have any real proof of it, so I can't say that she definitely is. It appears that as soon as the funds started to run dry and I stepped in and took away access to the checkbook, she went to the police and lied about assault. The timing of it all is very interesting. This was all after I had already asked for a divorce, months before.
What I can say is that she wasn't actually drawing the funds to plan for her divorce. I don't think she was smart enough. She was spending it, not saving it.
If she was smart enough, she wouldn't have left such a wide trail... Tons of checks, recordings showing premeditation to incite and catch me, etc. Gotta love how people react to greed.
She would do things like log in the checkbook/register that she was paying my son's medical expenses and would then actually write out the check to Victoria's Secret or Neiman Marcus or Cash, etc. She was just spending out of control and I didn't find out until after the separation that she had started it "long" before I had asked her for a divorce. It got to the point where almost half of all checks she was writing were fraudulent.
The whole time, I wanted to believe that we were actually trying to make our divorce amicable. I was so in denial about her.
What bothers me most is that our court system frowns upon our exercising free speech and publicizing what our spouses have done. Something is wrong about this. I'm wondering if publicizing such bad behavior starts to highlight one of the dirty little secrets of divorce court, which is that the courts haven't been appropriately highlighting and punishing such behavior from spouses, in order to make examples of them, even when the judges and lawyers "know" that such behavior is bad.
The more people I talk to or read about the more I see that there are so many people that seem to get away with such behavior. I think it's wrong to let it happen. I think something has to be done to highlight what these people are doing and how inadequately they're being punished, in an effort to find a way to change it all. Maybe I'm wrong but this is the way I feel...
