Do I have any legal recourse if my spouse hid an addiction from me until we were married?

You can file for divorce to get out of the marriage (or perhaps an annulment but that would be difficult). As for getting the children, it may be possible to get guardianship of them, but since they are not children of the marriage, you cannot obtain custody through a divorce proceeding.

How is a house $100,000 under water handled in a divorce settlement?

Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)

Debts, obligations, and liabilities are equitably distributed just like personal property. If the parties can decide on who gets what or who bears what liabilities then you'll spare yourself having the Court decide it. How it gets handled depends on how creative the spouses can get. In this case I would suggest off-setting for the spouse who wants to keep the house with the one who wants to walk away free and clear. Call or email to discuss possible scenarios.
