Question : I have a lot of anxiety surrounding a recent incident where my wife got caught shoplifting and just assumes I will pay the $3000 lawyer XXXXXXX I'm torn here because as her husband this could fall under my responsibility but the other side is it was her stupid mistake she would pay for it. Any advice on how to process this to make my decision? I'm lost.
Brief Answer:
Are your financial records linked? Would you stand to see her suffer?
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. I understand it is her fault and she should shoulder the responsibility. However, marriage comes with some constraints that we cannot entirely deny.
If your financial records are linked and she doesn’t pay for this, your credit would be equally compromised if she fails to do so. You will ultimately find yourself wanting and maybe obliged to pay it. At that time, this would be a lot more expensive than if addressed now.
Also, remember she’s your wife. I am sure you love her and will not want to see her suffer through pain and humiliation even if your financial records were separate. As a husband, it is also a responsibility to support her through pain and such unfortunate circumstances.
In all, I will suggest you consider partnering with her to pay off these charges. This will help you both.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
