Pete,
I have been reading some of your posts.
The thing I can't understand is why you are willing to just let your credit rating fly out the window. You are just gonna leave, and let her stay there until they foreclose on her? Or until she moves out after they shut the utilities off?
Remember....wealth accumulated during the marriage is community property, in this case it is negative wealth (debt). Why not sell the house while rates are still low and get what you can out of it, sell the cars, diamond ring, etc and use the proceeds to help pay the mortgage off? In other words, this way she will share in the financial burden.
