For the last 3½ years my wife has been down all sorts of antivax, Sov Cit, Qanon conspiracy theory rabbit holes. I should have walked away the night she told me that she would divorce me if I got the Covid jab. But anyway...
The nonsense has got worse over the last few months, and is accelerating since the Orange Ozymandias won re-election.
BTW "nonsense" includes hiding/destroying/ignoring official looking mail, not paying bills, etc.
So if I walk and commence divorce proceedings, she will be a non-participant in the process. No response to correspondence, including property settlement proposals. No attendance at mediation. No engaging a solicitor to represent her. If she attends court she'll come with some cookers who'll tell the judge that his law doesn't apply "because the government of Australia is a corporation and its laws are illegal under our common law" (whatever the f**k that is).
So how do I go about negotiating a property settlement, getting disclosure etc?
Here's a nice little sticking point, at one stage her cooker friends convinced her that all of the world's companies were bankrupt and the mainstream media were part of a giant conspiracy to hide this "fact" by continuing to publish "fictional" share prices. But luckily there was this crypto mob who were issuing cryptocurrencies that were somehow going to replace shares. And if you got in early and quickly, massive returns were to be had. Nek minnit, she's dumped $150K into this s**t and is convinced that in just a few short weeks it'd be worth $3 billion. Billion, FFS. That was about 2 years ago. Since then she's been cagey every time I've asked how the cryptos are going, what they're worth now, etc. AIUI full disclosure requires her to report this, but I suspect the chance of that happening without some stiff legal compulsion is pretty slim.
So, where do I go from here? I'm fed up with the nonsense and ready to walk away.
