How do I get her out?

[fed-up59]

After my last wife died, I did not date for 6 years. I met and married a woman last July after a very short courtship. I am paying on my own home where she and her 2 minor childern, ages 16, & 12 moved in. I have 2 children at home also, ages 16 & 20.

Right away I noticed there was something wrong with her, but it took me a few months to figure out that it was a serious addiction to prescription meds. I did everything I could to help her stop but she does not see it as a problem. As a result she has spent all of our meager savings, ran up all of my credit cards, stolen pills from my family members during family visits, and has refused to work saying that she is in too much pain (from what, I have been unable to pin her down on).

Lately she has been asking about my Life Insurance (would pay out approx $400,000.00) and If I have put her as the sole beneficiary. She has also told me that I need to get a DNR (Do Not Rescusitate) built into a Living Will. I am overweight but not ill at all, and do not understand why her sudden interest in my will, insurance, etc.

Needless to say, I cannot take living with a woman who is stoned to the point of passing out in mid-conversation daily, and who asks my children if they know anybody who can get her some Xanax or Oxycodone. She insists that I spend every moment from the time I get home from work, sitting in our bedroom, where she has been holed up for several months, watching her pass out.

I have brought up divorce to her on several occasions, and each time she says that she will never leave my house, so I will have to go. And, that she will hit me for the maximum alimony, because she "cant work".

What are my rights? Am I going to lose my home, and have to pay alimony to a woman who has done nothing for our family?

This is a very short-term marriage. So I will sum up the points you are concerned about and give you the short answer:

No alimony will be paid.

Your house will remain yours.

Your soon to be ex will be out of the house.

The only big problem here would be your inaction. These answers will change if you remain married much longer. It sounds like there is a huge problem here. Am I the only one that sees urgency in your need to act?

Do what you need to do, and do it quickly.
